Sebastien David
Sebastien David works in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, a subregion of Touraine in the Middle Loire Valley known for Cabernet Franc of mineral precision and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on this single variety, expressed across distinct cuvées. Vin d'une Oreille represents the highest expression in the range, a wine that has drawn recognition from Wine Advocate. Coëf and L'Hurluberlu follow, each offering their own interpretation of the terroir's slate and clay soils. Cabernet Franc from this corner of the Loire tends toward red fruit, graphite, and a lean, food-friendly frame—characteristics that define the region's identity. Sebastien David's releases sit within this tradition, unadorned and focused on what the vintage and vineyard site permit.
