Domaine Guilon, Candide 2022 – Bourgueil

The wine has a ruby color with purple reflections. The nose is aromatic, gourmand, open and fruity. It expresses notes of red cherry, ripe wild strawberry, red currant, crushed raspberry, associated with notes of dried aromatic herbs (thyme, wild mint in the background) and touches of fresh flowers (rose, iris), as well as a very delicate minerality and a spicy side (white pepper, cloves). The palate offers purity of fruit, a firm and slightly dry tannic structure, as well as juiciness and liveliness. It expresses notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, red currant, a hint of cranberries and blackcurrant, as well as a hint of dried mint, iris and minerality (gravel) in the background. The tannins have a medium grain, a little dry. The finish is quite persistent, with a touch of bitterness and a salivating acidity.
