About the producer:
Maison Angelot is run by the brothers Eric and Philippe Angelot. Their 29 hectares of vineyards are divided into about 20 different parcels, some hillside and others along the valley floor. For reds, their Mondeuse, Poulsard, Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes come from some of the property's oldest vines. Maison Angelot, while not trying to emulate Burgundy or even neighboring Savoie in the complexity of its wines, sinply makes delicioius, food-friendly wines year in and out.
Flor Impressions:
Easy drinking reds are perfect for summer and this one emphatically delivers. Highly aromatic notes of frozen strawberries, raspberry coulis, dried hibiscus and chalk greet from the glass. The palate is lean and juicy with a vibrant acidity that sway the wine towards a crisp, fruity and slightly floral finish. Not meant to be complex, think of it as a really catchy Ramones song. Best served with a slight chill!
