(Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgeuil Perrieres) Had one glass over four hours and it barely budged. All drying minerals and tannins with a core of fruit you needed to be able to taste only if you eliminated all other extraneous intake. Still had uncanny freshness but was not as nearly open as the bottle I had at the Dive Bouteille. I am confident it will budge tonight and will show some more fruit and better integration. I thought the nose was nicely mineral and had dirt, mineral and embryonic fruit nuance but was shut down at the three hour mark. Enjoyable in a very educational, "this is what a super-closed" wine is type of way . . . .but wait
(Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil Perrieres) This was incredibly ripe and juicy with the typical brett/earth/funk this cuvee usually has. Very long finish suggests this has years of giving ahead of it.
