"Pompette" is pure pleasure for those seeking a light and juicy bottle to start their evening, continue their evening, or end it on a gentler note.... The 2018 is an unusual, though delightful, mix of Tempranillo, Counoise, and a now-rare Vaucluse grape variety called Aubun. The grapes are hand harvested then partially crushed wholecluster in stainless tank for fermentation (native yeasts, of course). Only light pigeages and pump overs are used in order to bring out the natural fruity character of the grapes. The wine is then aged in neutral barrels for 8 months before bottling with no sulfur additions. The nose shows lovely floral aromas with plum and white pepper. The palate is light with soft tannins, good acidity, and pleasing flavors of rosewater, dusty minerals, and plum flesh. Drink with a chill without delay! Amanda Bowman
