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.

Dear Jim,
this wine grower is funny and talented, I am happy to see these wines on your web page. I hope you have some bottles from Patrimoine S.D. collection on your cellar.
See you later.

Thanks Johan. I will have to look out for Patrimoine.

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.

"T"hyrse 2001
"R"azine 2002
"I"dylle 2003
"M"i-Chemin 2004
"O"rion 2005
"I"n Vivo 2006

We wait for "S" 2009 and "D" 2010
