This is your chance to experience the essence of the Loire Valley with Candide Bourgueil, a captivating expression of Cabernet Franc from Domaine Guion's younger vines. Nestled in the heart of Bourgueil, this wine emerges from a unique terroir characterized by a harmonious blend of limestone and clay soils. The careful cultivation practices of the Guion family, who have embraced organic and biodynamic farming since the 1960s, ensure that each grape reflects the purity of the land.
On the palate, Candide Bourgueil delights with its bright, crunchy red fruit flavours, offering an inviting profile of ripe cherries and juicy raspberries. The fine tannins lend a silky texture, making it incredibly approachable even in its youth. A subtle brush of dried Mediterranean herbs and a hint of earthiness on the finish add layers of complexity, elevating the overall tasting experience.
Stéphane Guion's ‘hands-off’ winemaking approach further enhances the wine’s authenticity, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine. Fermented using ambient yeasts in stainless steel tanks and lightly filtered, Candide Bourgueil embodies a commitment to minimal intervention, with only a small amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
This wine is not only delightful when enjoyed young but also possesses impressive ageing potential, promising to evolve beautifully over time.

Vintages

Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
