Dom. du Petit Bondieu 2021 Bourgueil Terres Brunes
Our first importation of this cuvée, which is is the most classically “Bourgueil” of all made by Thomas, in its resolutely brooding, almost uncompromising style. This is one of those Cabernets Francs that transcends the variety to enter a mysterious realm inhabited by all really good wines where balance and length speak more loudly than simple flavour. Built for the very long haul.
