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.

There's an episode of the Peep show where Jeremy says the wine he's drinking is nice, "but not actually nice like hot chocolate or coke, but nice for wine".
This is a wine for Jeremy. Delicious, and probably not worth thinking about too much. Though it absolutely does need to be chilled.
