2009 l'hurluberlu, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Sébastien David

Rather depleted bottle of 2009 l'hurluberlu, Sébastien David

This is a deliciously easy drinking Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil (pure Cabernet Franc) as the considerably depleted bottle above shows. A deep and dense youthful purple, it has juicy red fruits and soft texture with little structure. A refreshing wine to drink, not to analyse and should be enjoyed young. Best not served at more then 17/18˚C – cooler in summer. The wine may be named after a play by the French playwright Jean Anouilh. Pleased to see that it is closed with a screwcap.

Imported by Les Caves de Pyrène and stocked by Bertrand and Nicholas Cave à Vins priced £11.29 a bottle.

    Jim,
    Sebastien began this "collection" with the 1999 vintage, and every year he names the new vintage with a letter from "P.A.T.R.I.M.O.I.N.E. S.D" S.D for Sebatien David.
    This cuvées are:

    "P"ipette 1999
    "A"ncestrale 2000
    "T"hyrse 2001
    "R"azine 2002
    "I"dylle 2003
    "M"i-Chemin 2004
    "O"rion 2005
    "I"n Vivo 2006
    "N"i Dieu Ni maître 2007
    "E"ndémique 2008
    We wait for "S" 2009 and "D" 2010
    It's so funny.

    Have a good day and St Vincent Jim.

    Johan

    Many thanks Johan. But why are you Martin?

    Look forward to seeing your photos from Cravant – say hello to the Maire and tell him I’ll see him at Angers. Will you be at the Salon this year?

    Bien cordialement

    Jim

    I don't know why my name is Marin on my Google account, and it's impossible to rename...
