Lamé Delisle Boucard - Bourgueil Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2020 (750ml)

Decanter 90 points

"Smoky red fruits aromas, followed by a decent mouth-filling texture. It’s medium-bodied with ripe tannins, although the wine needs more time in bottle to show its best. The best reds from Lamé Delisle Boucard have a remarkable potential to age. Lamé Delisle Boucard was founded in 1869 in the village of Ingrandes de Touraine in the Bourgueil appellation. The domaine is now run by Philippe and his wife Patricia, as well as Stéphanie, Philippe’s sister, and her husband Eric. They have 47ha divided up into 61 parcels, which from 2021 is now certified organic. The Cuvée Vieilles Vignes comes from a mix of soils, in part from the clay limestone of the coteaux and the rest from gravel. After fermentation the wine spends a year in large wooden vats."
