The wine region of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil
Cabernet Franc (Breton) signature as monovarietal on the north bank of the Loire in Touraine, ≤10% Cabernet Sauvignon: fresh vibrant reds with bursting aromas of raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant and floral and spicy touches, fine tannins and silky palate. Light fruity gravel wines to drink young, more structured mineral tuffeau wines suitable for 5-6 years of aging. Luminous ruby robe. AOC neighbor of Bourgueil, pure Loire identity of Cabernet Franc.
The wine region of Loire Valley
Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
