The 2022 Va Nu Pieds is a wine that begs to be enjoyed with bare skin against cool stone, toes curling in pleasure as electric acidity sends a shiver up the spine. It teases with bright citrus and crisp green apple, each note a delicate kiss on the arch of your palate. Fresh pear and quince glide in next, smooth and supple, leading to a malty, full-bodied finish that lingers like the ghost of a lover’s touch. This is a wine meant to be savored slowly, perhaps with fingers running absentmindedly over an ankle, a foot resting against a thigh, a sip taken between teasing strokes. Serve it cool—between 10° and 12°—and let it glide over your tongue like silk against bare skin. Pair it with seafood, roast chicken in lemon cream, or better yet—enjoy it feet up, shoes off, and completely unrestrained.
