Bourgueil Domaine De La Butte Le Haut De La Butte Bourgueil, 2022

Le Haut de la Butte 2022 is a refined Bourgueil from Domaine de la Butte, showing the Loire Valley’s elegant, Cabernet Franc-driven style at its best. This is a wine that combines freshness, structure, and depth, with the kind of precision that has made Bourgueil one of the Loire’s most respected red appellations.

Tasting Notes
Expect a vivid ruby colour with inviting brightness in the glass. On the nose, it typically opens with red and black berries, violet, crushed herbs, and a subtle earthy spice, while the palate is sleek and layered, balancing juicy fruit with fine tannins and a mineral edge. The 2022 vintage should offer immediate appeal, but with enough structure to develop gracefully over the next few years. Its tension and freshness suggest good mid-term ageing potential, especially for drinkers who enjoy Loire reds with nuance and finesse.

Production

Food & Serving
A versatile red for food, it pairs beautifully with roast poultry, grilled lamb, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and lightly spiced vegetable cuisine. Serve slightly cool, around 15–17°C, and consider a short decant if opening young to allow the aromatics to unfold.
