Pretty much the un-Pinot list of foods.

I had heard that the Lucien wines were more approachable, but the 2015 fruit plays a big role here as well so it's impossible to isolate the style vs. the vintage. Either way, friendly easy and fruity, tilting a bit soft but then has some underlying fine mineral points to the structure. Not as crisp or aérien as Louis and probably never my preferred style, but delicious enough to think about pursuing other vintages.
