Maupertuis
Loyal readers of this blog will recall our recent obituary to Peyra. However, we wrote too soon, as Peyra lives on in the wines of Jean Maupertuis. Over the last two days we've been drinking Mr. Maupertuis' wine 'La Guillaume.' To start, it's 10.5 % and the most beautiful color possible in a wine. After blowing off some brett it started to truly dance, cranberry fruits and lively acidity. On day two the wine was more vibrant and alluring. It had us all cartwheeling and somersaulting, save one failed attempt at a back flip off a case stack of Denegenot destine for the VLM. Thank you Mr. Maupertuis. We hope the Paris wine bars don't get to you, and the floozies that frequent them, and you keep your wines stable.

Peyra definitely lives on! This wine begs the question, "Does this wine express terrior?" This wine is so "Peyra" like, that are we tasting style or place here?
Jason: With Peyra and Maupertuis you are definitely tasting style. I would not call these terrior wines. I would call them unique, enjoyable quaffs, and I applaud Jean for continuing to make wine as such.

Couldn't agree more - or enjoy more for that matter.
