Guion 2021 Bourgueil Cuvee Candide

This is another beautiful wine from the shy and affable Stéphane Guion who is quietly making some of the best wines in Bourgueil. His 2021 Cuvèe Candide (Formerly Domaine) is from not-so-young (15 to 40 year-old) vines, on clay/limestone terroir in Benais. In this rather cool, pre-global warming vintage, Stéphane has made a beautiful, old-fashioned Bourgueil at 12% alcohol with bright, pure floral aromas of red currant and raspberry with stone and herbal notes, really lovely and highly recommended! Not to mention that it's a sensationa vaue!! Stéphane should raise his prices...
