BFM - St Bon-Chien 2018 - 11% - 37.5cl - Bte
Description
The 2018 vintage of the iconic Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien from Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes (BFM), in Saignelégier in the Jura. This powerful Sour at 11% ages for one year in old oak barrels that previously held wine, before the various barrels are blended to build complexity. Born of a mixed fermentation started with wine yeasts, it develops a winey and tart profile over the course of maturation. On the palate, it evokes fruity red wines, with a pronounced balsamic acidity and great depth. One of the world's great sours.
