Bertrand Galbrun Bourgueil
Know what I say when people ask me for a bottle of Bertrand Galbrun’s Bourgueil? Tuff S#!T! Tuff is the name of the clay/limestone soils in which the Cabernet Franc grapes are grown. It’s a soil that offers deep, bold, dusty Cab Franc. All Bert’s grapes are Biodynamic and hand-harvested. No machinery here to compact the soil. The fruit is then destemmed and crushed by foot; Lucy would be so proud. Bertie’s a young guy who’s as natural a winemaker as there is with no added yeast, SO2, or enzymes. Yet his wine confidently conveys place, and the place of Bourgueil is one of the greatest for Cabernet Franc; maybe the best for Cab Franc. Regardless, Berty’s Cab Franc is one of the best you will try all year. -Greg
