Wines
Bourgueil Vieilles Vignes Domaine des Mailloches is a red wine from Touraine. It is aged in stainless steel vats for 9 to 18 months before release. Stainless steel is a neutral ageing vessel, so it contributes no oak flavour and leaves the fruit and tannins exposed.
The wine shows a deep black cherry colour, with plum hues on the nose. Powerful black cherry and blackcurrant lead the aromas, followed by a rich palate of red fruit and licorice with melted tannins.
Final Word
Domaine des Mailloches is a Restigné domaine with Demont family lineage and a named Vieilles Vignes red from Touraine, aged in stainless steel before release.
