Hurluberlu Saint-Nicholas de Bourgeuil Sebastien David, crunchy, wild, vibrant, Natural Cabernet Franc. L'Hurluberlu is exuberantly fresh, brimming with cherry and cranberry goodness. It's brimming full of red 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. Eschewing chemicals and working without sulphur in the winery he makes a gratifying aromatic red.
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
