Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2021-2026, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, Oct 2021

The 2020 Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil Les Rouillères is rather reductive at this stage, but I am tasting this a year before it is due to be bottled. The sandy/gravel plot provides a bright, supple and joyful style of wine. It's all crunchy red fruits and violets with no oak in sight, allowing the fruit to shine. Fleshy, attractive and hugely drinkable. One for enjoying in youth.
