Ligers 2018
Les blottières 2016
Grape variety : 100% Cabernet franc ;
Terroir : limestone gravers
The deep dark red colour with crimson highlights is brilliant and limpid. The intense and expressive nose combines smells of black fruits (blackberry and blackcurrant) to notes of jam, liquorice and spices. The supple entry mouth offers a fleshy material, volume, balance, softness, and fruity and spicy flavours (black pepper) which coat the blended tannins, and then persists in a structural and long final. Great Bourgueil.

VIEILLES VIGNES 2016 : « PURE FRUIT AND LIQUORICE. SILKY AND RARE »
For a winemaker, the distinction of a specialised magazine is always an event coupled with the pleasure of the recognition of work accomplished. For the one of La Revue du Vin de France for our « Vieilles Vignes 2016 », we are deeply mooved by this bacause this year was delicate ; a year marked (in the Bourgueillois as in other Loire Valley vineyards) by the severe freeze of late April.
Then a dry and hot summer allowed the good maturity of the escapes grapes. First days of October : in Ingrandes, from Blottières to Brunetières, our faithful and enthusiastic team of grape pickers ensured the picking – happy harvests with a gorgeous wether. Vatting without asperities, fully controlled.
Today our “Vieilles Vignes” 2016 is still in the chai, soon in the bottle : rich and concentrated wine – Bourgueil that will age well – promise of pleasure during long years. “Fleshy, ample, convincing, pure and liquorice fruit, floral and persistent” says La Revue du Vin de France. A wine, if we dared, that we would qualify of “silky and rare”. Well, let’s dare.
