Tonight I went with a 2021 Guy Breton P'tit Max, his eponymous bottling at the top of his range, sourced from old vines in the Les Charmes climat of Morgon.
Very light, translucent, hazy pour. George Clinton level funk on the nose, white pepper, decaying leaves, and cranberry, beautiful. High acidity, zero tannins, this is a wine that would drink thin if not for its intriguing depth. Tart red fruit on the palate again enveloped by umami funk, finishing long on complex sweet tobacco, cola, leather, and wind dried garrigue. Excellent, classic Breton.

Nice. Wife chose the too young but totally delicious 2017 LRA ardanza over the way too young 19 muga reserva especial. I put some Rioja chorizo in some gnocchi with cheese sauce and a small prime ribeye with greens.
