Catherine et Pierre Breton ‘Nuits d’Ivresses’ Bourgueil 2018
€23.28
Cabernet Franc from old plots on clay-limestone soil. The combination of uplifting fruit and a masculine tannin structure gives the Nuits d’Ivresses its refined balance. Although energetic, the wine is compact and fleshy at the same time. The perfect companion for a serious barbecue or braai blow-out!
Description
Nuits d’Ivresses
Cabernet in its pure form, unmasked and deliciously direct. We love this transparent style, where the talent of the winemaker and the health of the plots are paramount. No make-up just made with honest artisanship.
The grapes are destemmed and go through a slow fermentation on the skins and seeds. Sulfite addition is avoided during the entire process. We recommend keeping the wine cool and dark. A wine that has aging potential and is best served slightly chilled.
Domaine Breton
The Breton family has been making exceptional wine in the Loire for four generations. Their vineyards located in Vouvray (Chenin), Bourgueil and Chinon (Cabernet Franc) benefit from the best terroirs and exposition. Pierre Breton grew up in Bourgueil and his wife Cathérine in Vouvray. Today, son Paul and daughter France also belong to the winemaker’s team at this first-class domain.
Breton represents revelating, terroir-driven Cabernet Francs and Chenins. Wines with juice, freshness, and a lot of spice. The rugged French north is tangible in the entry-level collection, but the glouglou factor is complemented by quality without compromise. The bottles are cheerfully decorated by cartoonist Michel Tolmer. An addition to the must-have factor of the Breton wines.
