92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This Bourgueil is like a slow kiss at the end of a Friday night. The wine has a nose of blackberry, sweet baking spices, strawberry, red raspberry and rosehip. A concentrated midpalate rewards your senses and encourages you to lean in further into a wine that finishes with a soothing finish. *Best Buy* (RS)" (04/2024) K&L Notes: A rich ruby red with notes of violets and red berry fruits, this Cabernet Franc is nicely layered on the palate with brightness running throughout and just a touch of smoke mixed in with some purple ...

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine has a nose of black raspberry, pencil shavings, violet blossom, pomegranate and hibiscus. Your lips will pucker into a smile, not because of the acidity but because of the balance between the acidity and tannic structure that pulls you in, while in perfect balance with the faintest herbal undertones that push the wine into the heavenly zone.

97 points Decanter: "Immediately evokes Old World style on the nose, with a bouquet of mushrooms, arboreal earth and a tinge of black fruit, but on the palate, a generous helping of dried currant, figs and plums. Atypical for a varietal Cabernet Franc in that the pyrazine note is next to nonexistent. But there is a freshness and acid backbone that threads beautifully through a well-balanced and delightful wine. (JG)" (02/2024)

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a confident wine that knows its value-and you should too. Joyful aromas of red raspberry, pencil shavings, dried herbs, rhubarb and fresh strawberries jump out on the nose of the wine. On the palate, black tea and rosehip dance with dried violet blossom and dried hay. (RS)" (04/2024)

Joël Taluau is a fabulous grower in St. Nicolas de Bourgueil known for making some of the purest expressions of Cabernet Franc in the Loire, which are unmarred by the intrusion of oak. He was also the first producer in the appellation to begin domaine bottling. These days, Joel makes wines with the help of his son-in-law, Thierry Foltzenlogel.

91 points Decanter: "A sense of minerality with gunflint on the nose, almost a tertiary character, giving the impression of a cooler vintage. The palate is quite backward, and the fruit purity has not really come out to the extent of the 2018, so this is much less revealing. (BL)" (06/2022) 90 points Vinous: "The 2017 Le Clos is a blend of 15 sites across five hectares. It is a richly fragrant, brooding style, with lots of complex layers. Light on its feet, its compact core is rich with texture, and its flavors linger long. There's a meaty edge, olives...

97 points Wine Advocate: "Very deep purple-black colored, the 2015 Cabernet Franc 29 Estate gives up expressive red and black currant preserves with hints of pencil shavings, crushed stones, chargrill and bay leaves plus a waft of roses. Medium to full-bodied, it has gorgeous freshness in the mouth with a chewy frame of tannins and plenty of expressive black and red fruit flavors, finishing long and perfumed.

97-100 points Wine Advocate: "A blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot, the 2021 Ausone is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild blueberries and raspberries mingled with rose petals, violets, exotic spices, vine smoke and blood orange, it's full-bodied, seamless and sensual, with a satiny attack that segues into a deep, layered mid-palate of breathtaking precision and intensity without weight. Built around bright acids and ultra-refined tannins and concluding with a resonant, perfumed fini...

Jacky Blot discovered wine as a junior pâtissier while working at a restaurant in Paris in his younger days. Eventually deciding to follow the winemaking track in life, he ultimately came to acquire the Domaine la Taille aux Loups in Montlouis-sur-Loire, some twenty years ago, and eventually added the Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil to his portfolio. The two appellations both reside along the Loire and perhaps do not have the same notoriety as their kissing cousins, Vouvray and Chinon. But what Jacky does is extremely special and his wines rival the qua...

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Hexameter checks in as 47% Cabernet Franc, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Merlot that was brought up in 60% new French oak. It has a terrific, spicy, complex style in its black raspberry and cassis fruits as well as notes of toasted bread, flowery incense, spice, and crushed flowers. Full-bodied, rich, and beautifully concentrated, it shows nicely integrated acidity, building tannins, and a great finish."

There's plenty of tannin contained within the core of this wine, coating the mouth finely. The long, fragrant finish is redolent of redcurrant, raspberry, violet and pencil lead.

94 points Decanter: "This classy wine from the leading Bourgueil estate is dense, bright and glossy in the glass. The nose is intensely violet-scented, with smouldering toasty oak in the background. This is a young, tight wine at present, but the excellent fruit concentration tells you this wine has much to give. The palate is already silky, with lovely freshness and balance. The fruit is spicy and blackcurranty, with a dark, bitter chocolate finish. there is delicious ripeness here, and at only 13% nothing is overdone. It's delicious now, but it would b...

90 points Vinous: "The fruit for the 2020 Les Varennes du Grand Clos comes from a site where the top of the slope is mainly clay and limestone while the bottom tends to be sandier. The result is a focused style with attractive, precise aromatics—think violet and both black and red cherry. Cool fermentation temperatures preserve and highlight its aromatic lift. Racy, fresh and bright, tannins provide structural framework, giving this wine drive and frame. (RG) " (12/2023)

This quickly builds in mineral tension, offset by a balanced inner sweetness and a creamy bead of bubbles as tart orchard fruits add a crunchy sensation toward the close. The Triple Zero keeps the energy high with vibrant acidity that maintains a beautiful freshness as Sour Patch apples and lime linger on. This is full of character and a total pleasure to taste.

95 points Decanter: "The flagship wine of Domaine du Bel Air comes from an historic 1ha walled vineyard (clos). It impresses immediately with a deeply complex and savoury nose of black cherry, smoke and black olives. The palate is equally intense, with black spicy fruit, dark plums, black pepper and a touch of raisined character. The tannins are full but not grippy or hard; the finish is long and juicy.

Where Chapelle d'Ausone celebrates a wave of opulence in the vintage, this focuses more clearly on black tea, slate, intense black chocolate. Precise and well cut, this is creamy and exuberant without sacrificing elegance and balance. Amazing depths of flavour and grip.

It is very mute and reticent to show its personality to start, needing a lot of shaking and pleading to coax out a series of intense scents: fresh blackberries, violets, licorice, pencil shavings, and tar, leading to an undercurrent of Sichuan pepper and fertile loam.

Here, the tart red fruits and herbs are in charge, and the sensation of freshness goes from those aromas to the mouth. The acidity is fresh, and the tannins are friendly but sharp. This is from a selection of vines that are about 25 years old, planted on stony soils bathed in calcium carbonate and sand." (01/2...
