The Lorieux domaine is located in St. Nicolas de Bourgueil and Cravant. The property contains 50 acres of vineyards, 30 in Saint Nicolas de Bourgeuil and 20 in Chinon (Cravant les Coteaux). The ‘Les Mauguerets-La Contrie’ has a great nose that develops with air, releasing aromas of fresh cherry, olive tapenade, smoked meat, pepper, meat juice and spice. It has terrific mouthfeel with a firm structure and all comes together on the long finish. Drink it now with some decanting or cellar it and enjoy over the next 10-15 years.
