Domaine Alexis Boucard - Bourgueil N°1 rouge 2023

4/5 (1 review)

"This tasty Bourgueil will delight your taste buds and your wallet!

"Favorite For his first vintage, 2018, the date of the estate's creation, Alexis Boucard continues to stand out. His aptly named Cuvée N °1, made from venerable Cabernet Franc vines rooted in clay and silica soils, is presented in a deep red with purple highlights, worthy of haute couture. On aeration, dazzling aromas of red and black fruits flatter the nose. On the palate, this radiant Bourgueil is full-bodied, ample and suave, infused with flavors of strawberry and cherry. A full-bodied, generous wine that's already very tasty, and will remain so for several years to come. (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

More than fifteen years of cellaring will reveal it." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). A dense, deep wine, in a roasted style with black cherry and cocoa notes. The palate is both sanguine and refined, with a beautiful fatness that perfectly matches the powdery, racy tannins. This is a highly refined cuvée that is already very enjoyable when young. Great class for this cuvée of great terroir!
