Pierre Vidal Costieres de Nimes by Mary Taylor 2020

red currant stem

with juicy red fruit carried by brisk acidity and fine

and wild strawberry

A half-finished bottle on a zinc counter while someone tears apart a loaf of bread with their hands kind of French

and some of the most acclaimed Pinot Noir vineyards on earth

the pressure on Claudie to return and work the vines of the domaine steadily intensified

and craftsmanship captured in the glass

wind and wood

and the vintage

it’s right in the heartland of Corsica

in all of Lytton the Petite’s life has been the hardest

The red poppy anemone grows wild here between these vines in spring
