🏰 The 2018 vintage in the Loire Valley, home to St Nicolas de Bourgueil, was generally favorable, producing wines with good ripeness and balance. Sébastien David's 'Vin d'une Oreille' is crafted with a focus on natural winemaking, often reflecting the pure expression of Cabernet Franc from the region. While specific reviews for the 2018 vintage of this particular wine are limited, wines from St Nicolas de Bourgueil are typically known for their vibrant red fruit character, often with notes of raspberry, cherry, and a distinctive herbaceous or 'pencil lead' nuance. They tend to be medium-bodied with fresh acidity and fine tannins, making them approachable in their youth but also capable of developing more complexity with a few years of aging. 【A pure and vibrant expression of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc from a dedicated natural winemaker.】 🍴 This Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with a range of dishes.
