The 2014 vintage in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil stands as one of the standout achievements of the decade. Blessed with an exceptional Indian summer lasting throughout September and October, the Cabernet Franc achieved optimal ripeness while retaining vibrant mineral tension. The wine reveals a deep ruby hue and captivating aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, liquorice, and violet. The palate is velvety and dense, defined by refined, silken tannins and striking persistence. Rated 4.3 out of 5, this divine vintage offers superb cellar potential and makes a glorious match for grilled prime rib over grapevine embers.
