The 2016 vintage in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil was profoundly shaped by the historic late April frost that drastically reduced yields. However, the surviving grapes enjoyed idyllic summer conditions, developing extraordinary concentration. The wine reveals a dark ruby hue and a pure aromatic profile of black raspberry, wild blueberry, and fine spices. The palate delivers impressive density balanced by mineral tension and tight, velvety tannins. Rated 4.3 out of 5, this divine vintage demonstrates the terroir resilience of Saint-Nicolas. A superb accompaniment for braised beef stew.
