🍒 Fruit: Fresh red cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries

Region: Bourgueil
Grape: Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2021
Tasting Notes
* Nose: Fresh raspberry, black cherry, violet, graphite, crushed herbs, and a hint of bell pepper (a classic Cabernet Franc characteristic).
* Palate: Medium-bodied with bright acidity, silky tannins, and remarkable freshness.
* Finish: Long, mineral-driven, with elegant red fruit and subtle spice.
Unlike the richer Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Bordeaux or Napa, this wine is all about finesse, freshness, and purity.
Vintage
2021 was a cooler vintage in the Loire. That means:
* More vibrant acidity
* Lower alcohol
* More restrained fruit
* A classic, food-friendly style that should age gracefully — 2 days ago
