FROM THE WINEMAKER:
“Fine, complex, generous wine with good ageing potential. Intense red colour with deep purple highlights. Elegant nose of black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) red fruit (raspberry), and spice (black pepper, vanilla). Rich, full-bodied, and well-balanced on the palate with soft tannin. Long black fruit aftertaste.”

EXPERT OPINION:
“Bourgueil is an appellation known for a distinctive style of Cabernet Franc that emphasizes elegance and tangy, crisp flavours. This one is true to type, with tangy berry, cherry and green veggie notes and a touch of earth. Lightly chill and pour with artichoke salad or grilled eggplant pizza.” –Vintages Tasting Panel
