Tasting Notes:

The 2019 Anders Frederik Steen 'C’est Dans les Yeux Qu’on le Voit' is a fresh and vibrant natural red wine that embodies the bold, unconventional style of its maker. With a bright garnet color, the wine opens with an expressive nose of wild red berries, cherries, and raspberries, alongside notes of fresh herbs, forest floor, and a hint of spice.

On the palate, the wine is juicy and light, with an emphasis on purity and energy. The red fruit flavors are vivid and lively, supported by gentle acidity and smooth, approachable tannins. There’s a refreshing clarity to this wine, making it highly drinkable while maintaining an intriguing complexity, with earthy and herbal undertones adding depth.

Vineyard and Winemaking:

Sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Ardèche region, 'C’est Dans les Yeux Qu’on le Voit' is a reflection of Anders Frederik Steen’s commitment to natural winemaking. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with minimal intervention to allow the fruit to shine.

Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine undergoes semi-carbonic maceration, contributing to its bright fruit character and freshness. As with all of Steen’s wines, no sulfur or additives are used, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its natural vibrancy and expression.

Food Pairing:

This wine’s freshness and light structure make it a versatile companion for a variety of foods. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or charcuterie boards featuring artisanal sausages and pâtés. The wine’s juicy fruit and herbaceous notes also complement Mediterranean-style dishes, such as ratatouille, roasted peppers, or eggplant.

Summary:
