Note: RVF 15.5/20, Selected by the 2009 Hachette Guide
This Bourgueil Prestige cuvée is made from a selection of old Cabernet Franc vines ranging in age from 35 to 80 years, depending on the plot, and planted on the estate’s finest south- and southwest-facing clay-limestone terroirs. “A very subtle oak influence does not detract from the discreet fruitiness of this cuvée, on both the nose and the palate. The tannins are not shy; rather, they are rounded and persistent, requiring only a little aging.” (Guide Hachette des vins 2009)

About the estate:

A historic estate with a tradition of organic farming (dating back more than forty years), which Stéphane Guion, 43, has continued to cultivate in this vein following in the footsteps of his father, a mixed-crop farmer. In the town of Benais, where he moved his winery, he produces Cabernet Francs with higher acidity than average and finer tannins. His Prestige cuvée (a selection of vines ranging from thirty to eighty years old), with notes of black fruit and pencil lead, offers a taut and sharp palate in its youth, with depth and energy. A Bourgueil with an invigorating candor, though at times austere. The wines reflect their terroirs well, but we would prefer a slightly more subtle aging profile.

Smooth tannins, well-balanced on the palate after 4 years in the cellar, good aging potential
