Estelle Cognard, Ma Cuvée d’Or 2022 – Saint – Nicolas de Bourgueil

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is refined, fragrant and offers a certain complexity, as well as a concentrated bouquet of red fruits. It expresses notes of red cherry, gariguette strawberry, wild raspberry, elderberry and red currants, combined with notes of dried blackcurrant, violet, dried rose petals, as well as fine spicy hints of licorice, white pepper and nutmeg. We also see notes of fresh grass and wild mint in the background. On the palate, the wine is round and gourmand. It offersa ripe fruity bouquet, with a slight sweetness. We find notes of wild strawberry, ripe red cherry, morello cherry, wild raspberry, a hint of crushed blackcurrant, as well as floral notes of rose, violet and peony, associated with a touch of mint syrup and nutmeg in the background. The tannins are structured, but fine. Beautiful length and a tangy frame which brings liveliness. A fresh, pleasant and gourmand wine.
