About Clos Troteligotte: “Clos Troteligotte roughly translates to ‘Land of the Doves,’ and this ten-acre estate sits atop an iron rich plateau (much of the iron present here is so pure it could be sold for smelting!). Stylistically Emmanuel’s wines straddle the line between old and new Cahors. Farming is certified organic by ECOCERT FRBIO. Winemaking is natural, without additives and results in vibrant fruit in the glass. The iron soil components offer striking minerality.“

K-Pot Demon Hunters

TASTING NOTES: “A star in Paris’ natural wine scene, this sulfite-free cuvee is totally natural wine without any additives or any kind other then the grapes from the vineyard, and in case you were wondering ‘K-Pot’ is French slang for ‘no protection.’ This wine is meant for early consumption. As is traditional in the appellation a bit of Merlot is included in the fermentation to help soften the palate.

A mercurial wine, K-Pot offers shifting layers of plummy fruit, savory herbs, graphite, and hints of bright dill. The Merlot is in evidence as it rounds out the mouth feel and gives a silken texture to the intense, aromatic Malbec.” (AbV 12.75%, pH 4.59, TA 4.03 g/L, RS 0.01 g/L)

VARIETALS: Malbec with a tiny bit of Merlot.

BARRELS: 6 months in concrete vessels.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: KPop Demon Hunters, a 2025 musical animated film for Netflix by Sony Pictures Animation. It’s hot with the young people.

The fictional K-pop trio Huntr/x are, in addition to pop stars, demon hunters. Demons come into the world and steal souls for their ruler, Gwi-Ma. Over time, demon hunters have been reinforcing a magical anti-demon barrier known as the Honmoon by singing, and Huntr/x are poised to finish the barrier and thus cut the demons off forever. However, lead singer Rumi is actually a half-demon, and has been hiding this from everyone. As they get closer to finishing the Honmoon, Rumi starts to lose her singing voice. On top of that, a human-turned-demon named Jinu forms his own demon K-pop group called the Saja Boys to destabilize the Honmoon by stealing Huntr/x’s popularity. Conflict ensues.

Most importantly to me, there is an adorable yet creepy blue tiger beast that is fixated on putting things upright.
