Famille du Vin Skin Contact Muscat - NV (200ml Can 4 Pk)
Importer's Notes:
Region: Minervois
Producer: Benjamin Taillandier
After launching his career in a conventional winery, Benjamin Taillandier rebelled to partake in the natural wine revolution (brave!) after meeting Jean-Baptiste Sénat in the early aughts. By 2007, he’d launched a project of his own nearby in the Languedoc, and 15 years later, he’s expanded the plot to 16 Hectares of biodynamically, organically farmed land — all of which he works by hand (while managing to keep his beloved local bar, Cantine du Curé, afloat during the summer tourist season). And while plenty of typical wines in the region are pointedly concentrated and high-alcohol, Taillandier is far more interested in producing lighter, fresher stuff (vin de soif, if you will).
Varietal: Muscat Petit Grain
This perfumey, savory skin contact Muscat is NOT shy on the aromatics front (lots of dainty floral and ginger notes). With lithe tannins and some oily, savory character, the wine has good body, with a sturdy, mineral scaffolding and a long, tart finish.
