The 2013 vintage in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil required meticulous cellar work in a cool, rain-affected growing season. Drastic sorting during late October harvests ensured pure, elegant juices. The wine exhibits a pale ruby color and fresh aromas of wild raspberry, tart redcurrant, and subtle roasted bell pepper. On the palate, the texture is light, lively, and thirst-quenching, favoring finesse over weight with delicate tannins. Rated 3.5 out of 5, this good and refreshing vintage is best enjoyed for its crunchy fruit alongside veal tartare or artisanal Sainte-Maure de Touraine goat cheese.
