2021 Bourgueil, Jour de Soif, Gauthier, Domaine du Bel Air, Loire

Description

Juicy red and dark berry fruit greet the nose and palate with a lovely crisp acidity and crunchy finish. It’s not just the lovely ripe raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, though; there is a further depth to the wine with an earthy spice giving you more than you expect and making it a cut above. Floral aromas of rose petals. This is a wine that offers more.

Critics reviews

Rebecca Gibb MW 86/100
The 2021 Jour de Soif is light, bright and fruity, filled with raspberry and blackberry flavours. It's a lot of fun and a great smasher that skips along with bags of freshness. It's a distinctly cool climate, ripe red. It's not complex, but it is not meant to be; it's a well-made wine that's designed to be fun.Drink 2022 - 2025Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous.com.com (August 2022)

About this wine

Bourgueil

Bourgueil

Bourgueil is a qualitatively-important, dry red wine appellation in Touraine, if quantitatively small at 1,500 hectares. Located west of Tours, its vineyards are planted with Cabernet Franc on calcareous clay and sandy soils gently inclined towards the River Loire. The wines are medium to full-bodied, possessing rich, perfumed raspberry and forest-fruit characters underpinned by a fine structure.
