Wild and challenging wine, yet one that I genuinely enjoyed. Nothing super complex about it, but there is a touch of sophistication. The bouquet is full of raw meat, VA, smelly cranberry, and spices. On the palate, it's elevated and spicy with a medium body and high acidity. It shows nice evolution and fruit.
Sous Le Végétal
One might say that the earth exploded, leaving myriads of tiny islands between Greece and Turkey. Samos, a largely mountainous island, is almost touching Anatolia, only separated from it by 1 mile (sic!) Mycale Strait. In 2017 Jason Ligas and Patrick Bouju created a collaborative wine project Sous Le Végétal (under vegetation), on this beautiful green island. Through the variety of Muscat de Samos grapes, they try to express the spirit of the local terroir.
What you usually notice while looking at Sous Le Végétal bottles is the off-the-Earth labels created by Anthony Duchene, a French artist inspired by the volcanic granite soils.
