Hurluberlu 2024 Producer|Landron-ChartierA notorious natural wine with a cult following and a highly distinctive bottle. This is Cabernet Franc at its brightest, freshest and crunchiest. Juicy, vegetal and with a herbal perfume prime red chiller material. Each year Hurluberlu has its own identity and it seems to be better each year. Dark and vivid purple, fresh and bright with cherry kirsch flavours; lots of dark fruits that are underpinned with a savoury, minerally character. The way

Each variety is picked by parcel

Lots of dark kirsch and raspberry fruit

Whilst different methods can be employed to combat this

meaning that the wine is made from the product of more than one single year

after harvest they are pressed directly and fermented for two weeks in concrete before bottling

The ancient vessels in which it is made impart a beautiful granular texture

the juice is decanted into clean qvevri for a further 6 months rest

On the palate

On the palate the wine is well balanced with a flinty minerality and a good lift of acidity

using the forgotten Sauvignon Gris varietal - know locally as Fié

a thick-skinned

this is the easiest drinking of Yann’s cuvées
