‘Fous’, which is the French word for 'crazy’, is the word outsiders used to describe this project’s philosophy, which revolves around crossing traditional boundaries of viticulture. This is an intriguing and cerebral wine that requires contemplation. Its aromas include lime zest and ripe yellow fruits, as well as oily and waxy notes. On the palate it has great concentration, a creamy texture and balancing freshness, with elegant, savoury and nutty complexity as it evolves in the glass.
