Another interesting release from this producer, this bottling has dried cheery and light blueberry fruits. Additional flavors of menthol, anise and dried herbs. Like the other wines in this line, just enough "funk" to keep things interesting without overdoing it all.
Notes
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, unmarred by the intrusion of oak-which he hasn't used in production since 1986. He was also the first producer in the appellation to begin domaine bottling. The Vieilles Vignes, from a single plot of Cabernet Franc planted in 1934, is prized for its power, depth and grace. This flagship wine is meant to age, and this one is really coming into its own.
