Description

Pierre and Rodolphe Gauthier make some of the most sophisticated and age-worthy Cabernet Franc in the Loire, so this is scandalously good value. The 2021 is a delicate, polished rendition that focuses on the mineral side of Les Vingt. I love the peppery counterpoint to the glossy red fruit. It's deliciously moreish already, and further complexity will emerge with age.

About this wine

Bourgueil

Bourgueil is a qualitatively-important, dry red wine appellation in Touraine, if quantitatively small at 1,500 hectares. Located west of Tours, its vineyards are planted with Cabernet Franc on calcareous clay and sandy soils gently inclined towards the River Loire. The wines are medium to full-bodied, possessing rich, perfumed raspberry and forest-fruit characters underpinned by a fine structure.
