Catherine et Pierre Breton Bourgueil Trinch, Loire, France 2023 Escorihuela Gascon ripe apples and light floralTrinch!, a punchy, bistro style Bourgueil thats both structured and glouglou, may be the most quintessential Breton cuve of the lot. Young vine Cabernet Franc, full of energetic vigor, is gently de stemmed and cold macerated in stainless steel to ensure maximal fruit expression. When served chilled, this bottling smells like a gravel road after a summer rain, firm and fresh, and leaves me craving a cold slab of terrine or gamey pate.
