It is appreciated for its freshness, its vibrant aromas of red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant) and a lively, supple and elegant palate. \u003cbr\u003eAccessible from its youth, it is perfect for accompanying simple and flavorful cuisine, while also being able to evolve harmoniously over several years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"546\"\u003eDomaine Audebert \u0026amp; Fils, rooted in Bourgueil since 1839, is a family estate of over 40 hectares spread across Bourgueil, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, and Chinon. Faithful to Cabernet Franc – locally known as \"Breton\" – the estate cultivates this grape variety on a mosaic of terroirs, from silty sands to limestone clays, and even gravel. The wines thus faithfully reflect the expression of each plot and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"831\"\u003eBourgueil wines benefit from varied soils, conferring structure and depth: notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, with supple tannins for young cuvées, and firmer tannins on clay-limestone terroirs for age-worthy wines from old vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003eIn Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, the vines rest on Cenomanian gravels. The resulting wines are lighter, livelier, and fruitier, with remarkable elegance, always carried by a beautiful spring freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003eThe domain's Chinon wines are planted on silty sands along the Loire and Vienne rivers: here again, they express softness, silky tannins, vivacity, and immediate deliciousness, perfect for drinking young, but capable of gaining complexity in the medium term (5-8 years).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1339\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003eThe estate combines traditional winemaking – fermentation in stainless steel tanks, indigenous yeasts, reasoned maceration – with careful aging (tank and 600-liter barrels), sometimes in a troglodytic cellar, ensuring gentle oxygenation. This approach gives birth to wines of character, balanced, fruity, but also capable of improving with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1950\"\u003eThe estate offers guided or self-guided cellar tours, with on-site tasting, and has long been featured on the wine lists of the best restaurants (Relais \u0026amp; Châteaux, Gault \u0026amp; Millau, Michelin), attesting to its strong local and professional recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cave de France","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723938267472,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7026\/9284\/files\/SaintNicolasdeBourgueilAudebert.png?v=1752938318","url":"https:\/\/cavedefrance.com\/en\/products\/saint-nicolas-de-bourgueil-audebert-et-fils","provider":"Cave de France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
