Bourgueil 2023 "BIO" - Laurent Mabileau

Laurent Mabileau's Bourgueil red wine comes from two types of soil: one is siliceous, giving a predominant taste of red fruits, the other is clay-limestone, giving character to the wine, and allowing it to sublimate with years of aging.

It is on a clay-limestone soil that our grandfather Maurice Lorieux, around 1937, planted his first parcel of vines at the place called "Les Perrières": these grapes still constitute today, a part of this vintage.

The harmony of these soils cultivated in organic farming, is enough to offer a wine remarkable by its fullness but also by its subtlety and its finesse to refresh the taste buds.

Tasting notes

The brilliant and luminous deep ruby colour with purple highlights opens to an expressive nose that combines the scents of stewed red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) with a hint of licorice. The mouth, with its supple attack, offers a fleshy substance, presence, a beautiful balance, as well as fruity (cherry, blackberry) and spicy aromas that coat the well-presented tannins and then persist in a structured, full and long finish.

Ageing

An ageing period of 3 to 5 years laid flat in darkened cellar.

A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer’s palate.

Service

Serve at 12 à 13°C. It accompanies wonderfully meats (cured meats, grilled, poultry, pork, veal, rabbit, beef…), fish, cheeses, red fruit desserts.
