Updated
Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil wines are, like the Bourgueil, grown on the north of the Loire river, in an area just under 1,000 hectares in size. With similarly porous soil, they tend to have strong tannins. These wines, made using mainly Cabernet Franc grape, are usually fruity and lighter than the Bourgueil, due to the nature of the soils.
