Domaine Pierre Overnoy / Emmanuel Houillon Arbois-Pupillin Poulsard

Pale as a held breath, this is a wine that asks you to slow down before it lets you in. Something between a red and a rosé, it tastes of wild strawberries left too long in shade, of a cellar that has not seen electricity in decades. Drink it on a night when you want to sit with a memory rather than escape it, when quiet is not absence but company.
