The 2021 vintage in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil marks a welcome return to traditional, refreshing Loire cabernets. Following harsh spring frosts and a cooler growing cycle, meticulous vineyard stewardship yielded grapes of pristine aromatic clarity. The wine displays a radiant ruby robe with vibrant aromas of redcurrant, fresh raspberry, peony, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, the texture is crisp, lively, and energetic, framed by delicate, silky tannins. Rated 3.8 out of 5, this excellent and food-friendly vintage shines with bistro fare, roasted poultry, or seared tuna.
