Catherine et Pierre Breton Bourgueil Trinch, Loire, 2023 France Los Conejos nutmeg and black tea glidingTrinch!, 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.
