Les Esthètes du Vin Cabernet Franc - Bourgueil, Loire Valley, France
Producer's Notes:
A dry red that opens with aromas of raspberry, cherry and violet, leading into a juicy, refreshing palate of red berries, subtle herbs and pepper, framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity that give this organic Bourgueil red its wonderfully fresh, food-friendly character.
What We Say:
This Beaumont-en-Véron-based wine producer takes an organic approach to viticulture. Their wines emphasize Loire varieties and relatively transparent expressions of the region rather than heavily manipulated or oak-dominated styles. This particular Cabernet Franc, with its Bourgueil origins, has more structure and earthy character than a simple, fruit-driven Loire red, while maintaining the freshness and drinkability that make Cabernet Franc from this part of France so attractive.
Grape Varietal: Cabernet Franc
