Bourgueil Mi-Pente 2018 - Domaine de la Butte - Jacky Blot

• Tasting: This wine comes from the highest part of the vineyard. It is the one with the most complexity of the three.  On the nose we find intense aromas: pencil shavings from the barrels, spicy notes, fruits of the forest (blackberries and other wild black fruits). An astonishing balance of tannins! A silky mouth with great sweetness. Remarkable length.  

• Grape variety : Cabernet Franc

• Terroir : Clay and flint soil on pure limestone.

• Food and wine pairing : This great wine will go perfectly with an aperitif including charcuterie, Italian pasta and grilled red meat.

• Cellaring: A very good ageing potential. You can keep it for several years, until 2031.

• Vinification : Hand picked / Complete de-stemming of the grapes / Natural fermentation in wooden tuns. Maturing in oak barrels, 1/3 new and 2/3 old. Neither clarified nor filtered.
