Saint Nicolas Bourgueil "Perruches" Domaine De La Cotelleraie – 2022
This medium‑bodied Cabernet Franc offers an intense ruby hue and an elegant, flinty fragrance of blackcurrant and subtle spice. The palate reveals velvety, fine tannins, concentrated red and black fruit, and a fresh, elegant finish. Terroir on gravelly‑clay “montils” from 25‑year‑old vines yields purity and depth, with structured yet supple tannins. There’s vivid acidity and a silky texture that promise a 10‑year aging potential. This wine has a balance of vibrant fruit, earthy undertones, and refined structure great alongside rich meats, creamy cheeses, or umami‑driven vegetable dishes.
