Bourgueil, across the river from Chinon is in the Loire River valley. Continental climate with maritime influences.
Bright, clean, and clear in appearance. Med body and intensity med ruby color.
I first smell meat, raw, and red. There is something floral as well, and very present. Lilies. Madonna/Easter in full bloom. This is a sexy wine and utterly appropriate for Valentine's Day. Red berries, earth, and pepper, anise, wood, tarragon, and baking spices. left field notes of dijon mustard.
Healthy tannins, med+
Med alcohol
Drink now but will benefit with aging.
I love this wine. Great price, great buy.
