St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil les Graviers Domaine du Bourg 2007

Exceptional, richer styled Cabernet Franc made organically by meticulous winemaker, Frédéric Mabileau.

Careful hand selection and later harvesting is the key to the ripe forest fruit flavours of Mabileau's wines, while ancient gravel soils and dry climate are the key to their minerality and finesse. Frédéric's Cabernet Franc is the jewel in the crown of St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil: the Loire's best kept secret for red wine.

"Certainly a good effort in a difficult vintage � easy drinking, soft fruit, slightly edgy in the finish. Fr�d�ric used a short cuvaison in 2007 in order to extract fruit and not very much tannin. I think I would drink this up over the next year. Corney & Barrow will be shipping the 2008 soon. "
