Plovan, France
What Our Editors Thought
“Funky fermentation notes and a tight tannin in the nose offer a woody aroma with light acid notes. Crisp yet warm-toned in the sip, big yet focused with light acidity and powerful and elegant apple midtones.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Nicely balanced sweet/earthy/funky/tart apple character throughout. Slight hints of mushroom and tar enhance the tannins on the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Intense aroma of farm apples. Fruity taste tinged with a dry bitterness.”
