Chanteleuserie "Cuvee Alouettes" Bourgueil Cabernet Franc / 750 ml

The Cuvee Alouettes comes from sandier soils, which tend to yield softer wines with very supple tannins - perfect for drinking young. It saw fermentation and aging in stainless steel to preserve maximum aromas of fresh fruit, and the fruits are not lacking: wild berries jump out of the glass invitingly, while a peppery note adds an earthy twist. The gentle finish makes it oh-so gulpable-be sure to put a slight chill on it, and serve with picnic fare, lunch, or a BLT.
