Hurluberlu Saint-Nicholas de Bourgeuil Sebastien David, crunchy, wild, vibrant, Natural Cabernet Franc. L'Hurluberlu is exuberantly fresh, brimming with cherry and cranberry flavours that dance all over your palate. Don't be put off by the wild, unfettered appearance, this is what wine from the earth looks like, nothing put in, nothing taken out, just pure 'Vin de Terroir'. Delicious slightly chilled!
Sébastien David makes deliciously crunchy Cabernet Franc from his vineyards situated on the limestone-clay and gravels of the Loire. He has a total of around 15 hectares, all family owned, spread across Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil so as to avoid the risk of localised frost. Eschewing chemicals and working without sulphur in the winery he makes a gratifying aromatic red. His family have always worked organically, and Sebastien also employs some biodynamic preparations. He also experiments with various amphorae and clay eggs, as well as traditional foudres.

The roads were closing all around us. No trains north or south. The burns were raging torrents; pictures of abandoned vehicles, threatened bridges and submerged acres were filling my Facebook feed. The rain had been coming down now for seven days.
January 2016; Aberdeenshire.
What to do?……open a bottle of Rob’s wine to accompany the French onion tart prepared by Jane using free range eggs and gluten free pastry. Add baby leaf salad with some pea shoots. Put another log on the wood burner and some Bill Evans on the hi-fi.
The L'Hurluberlu was delicious. It was fresh, tangy, with just a faint hint of fizz. Fruity and a touch of liquorice, it cut the eggs and onions. Low sulphites too.
Crisis, what crisis?

This wine is particularly special in that I do not experience any sensitivity issues as other wines. It is truly natural.o
