Structured style, generous in it's dense fruit expression. The Busardières vineyard (soil of calcareous clay on top of tuffeau) is located high up in the hills of the Bourgueil appelation, protected from cold northern wind by a huge forest on top of the hill. Grapes get ripe here a bit easier. Charming expression of Cabernet Franc.

Rubis clair
Nez délicat frais sur la framboise
Bouche fraîche délicate à la matière mûre mais fraîche
Tanins savoureux
Bravo

Nose - raspberry, cherry, white pepper, a bit of earth. Took quite awhile to open up, but after it did it was pretty nice. Pretty balanced wine, could maybe use a bit more concentration and a longer finish. Good value at $20.

It is a fine wine with great structure and aromas of peppered flowers, red fruit and nuance of forest floor:)

A little more mineral and structure than the Bourgueil, limestone and clay terroir, older vines

Righteous Bourgeil! Bio in the field. Drank a flight, the '11 soared.
