Sylvain Bruneau - Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Cuvée Réserve 2019

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

The result of a long family history, the Bruneau-Dupuy estate has now been taken over by Sylvain. Since 2012, the vineyard has been in organic conversion. The estate covers an area of 20 hectares, protected by forest to the north. Half of the estate is located on south-facing slopes, covered with old vines planted on clay-limestone soils. The wines produced from these vines are full-bodied and long on the palate. The other half of the vineyard is planted in sandy soils, producing lighter, fruitier wines to be enjoyed young. At less than 15 euros, the wines offer good value for money.

After 12 months in barrel, this cuvée delivers a lovely bouquet of vanilla and fruit. A harmonious marriage of wood and Cabernet, extended by a full, round palate structured by smooth, silky tannins. A well-balanced wine from start to finish.

About the wine:

Intense purple color with youthful highlights. Nose marked by quality oak on a background of red fruit and peony. Well-balanced, fresh, full-bodied, savory and spicy on the palate. A very pleasant, straightforward and precise wine.
