The interesting thing here is that the wine for most intents and purposes is the same as the standard Pere Pape, except that inside one vat, they placed a waterproof speaker allowing the wine to listen to Jazz during its first 45 days of life during the fermentation process. At the end of day, a musically inclined medium-bodied, sweet, fresh, red berry filled wine with a silky finish. Drink from 2023 - 2033
