Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Cuvée Beauvais

Overall balanced, linear, and well-executed with enough frame and refined tannins to make it drinkable. However, this vintage is definitely on the thinner and softer side compared to past years. It doesn't quite have the compact core, elegance, and extended finish we usually get. The 2021 vintage was challenging across the board in Lorie with harsh weather throughout the growing season. I've never tasted this wine this young when it was literally 'ready to go,' so drink 2024-2027. Technical score: …

Interesting funky earthiness but missing a lot of the refinement of other cab francs in the region. Almost a pungent nose and taste that took some getting used to.

Does not compare to the 2019, its a faint and simple edition.
