Le Grand Clos Bourgueil Cabernet Franc

Vintage 2021 | Só true to type cab franc with playful raspberries, tight tannins with nice bitters, great future | paired with tagliatelle oyster mushrooms, peppers and garlic, a Sardinian recipe we have been making for more than 30 years and a family favorite

Vintage 2021 | obviously young. Raspberries in smell, elegance, juicy rondeur with a great future

Case worthy!

Vintage 2010 / dark colour, deep and complex smell with a lot of spices, raspberry, which I love from the first day I sipped a Bourgueil. Velvety taste. / Paired with Dutch Cheese with clove, a specialty from Friesland.

Vintage 2010 - there are multiple reasons why I love #bourgueil let me explain. When I just discovered wine as a real passion - at the age of 18 - I adored the raspberry smell no other wine offered so generous. I like the name: Bourgueil is by far the most beautiful AOC name. My wife and I fell in love with the great dishes of Madame Debacker and the #Loire region on our honeymoon. This #cabernetfranc is deep black in the glass. It has character. Even at this age the wine shows a bit harshness, and an austerity that is found in Bordeaux often. But the raspberry and cherry smell reminds me of Cru de Beaujolais. It has also flint and mineral expression in smell, hints of leather, tobacco, clove. On the tongue it has a velvety structure. Bourgueil can be complex and frivolous at the same time. / Partnered it with Bavette from bbq and cauliflower mousse.

Love me some cab franc from the Loire. Easy drinking and perhaps a little less rustic then I'd like, but it's got some spice, some herbs and decent acid.

Capa y densidad media baja, color carmesí, en nariz potencia media, muy floral lavanda, olor herbáceo. En boca denso, elegante y final muy agradable.

Very solid Amirault.

Slick and showy; like, "that was cool right?"

Really loved this. Blinded as Haut Medoc, and has that kind of polish and precision. @William Gordon @Marc Stubblefield
