Domaine Nau, Bourgueil 2023.
100% Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil on the northern bank of the Loire river, halfway between Angers and Tours. Bourgueil is famed for its Cabernet Franc reds.
Limpid ruby in the glass and pumping out a full and fruit-driven perfume of smooshed blackberries and blackcurrant jam, delicate asian spices and Cabernet Franc’s hallmark leafiness, while the palate is the epitome of medium-bodied elegance but with a succulent fleshiness that eases the wine through the palate with silky grace. If you like Pinot or red Burgundy then Bourgueil Cabernet Franc is likely to be a style that works for you too.
Update, 19th August 2025: shipment arrived today and this wine is absolutely pumping! Incredibly attractive perfume. The absolute embodiment of elegance and Cabernet Franc perfume and style.
