“Grown on clay-limestone soils planted with sixty-five-year-old vines, this Bourgueil displays an impressive bouquet of ripe black and red fruits. On the palate, it is very well-structured and exceptionally fresh, supported by fine, velvety tannins and leading to a long, savory, fruity finish. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Tasted in April 2020. Nice balance on the palate with lovely fruitiness. It’s fresh, lively, and seductive; if it had just a little more length, it would have been perfect.

Review by Mr. YANN P. Published on March 29, 2019
Here is a very lovely bottle. From the nose to the palate, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits; the attack is clean, with a lovely freshness thanks to well-controlled acidity, followed by well-integrated tannins... This is a wine best enjoyed within 4–5 years.

Pretty good for a bottle at this price—which is still reasonable! 2015 was a good year, I think.

One star because you can't give a rating without a star Bland wine, no depth—was the bottle defective? I used it in a wine sauce, and even then... Disappointed! Very disappointed!
