This is Chinon as it should be: expressive, softly savoury, and full of regional charm. Famille Bougrier calls it “fruity, structured, and gourmet” - we simply call it a must-have. If this isn't the best value French red wine offered in the Kiwi market this year, we would dearly love to know a more deserving option!
Since 1885, six generations of the Bougrier family have honed their winemaking craft to produce some of the most elegant wines in France's Loire Valley. This 2022 cabernet franc opens with flavours of juicy cherries and dark berries. There’s a whisper of earthy minerality and herbs, hallmarks of great Chinon, balanced by fine, elegant tannins and a mouthwatering line of acidity. The result is a medium-bodied red that’s smooth, vibrant, and dangerously easy to love. This lovely wine drinks like $30 French Cabernet Franc in anyone's language, and at just $14.99 on case buys, it is an exceptional buy for anyone who appreciates quality in the glass.
*As a young Loire Valley wine, it will benefit from decantering should you choose to do so.
Tasting note
The distributor: "A pretty garnet like color with purple reflections. Nose of red fruits, toasty and spicy notes with violet flower aromas. Structured palate with “griotte” aromas and structured light tannins."
The winery: "A cabernet franc from the Loire Valley as we like it - fruity, structured and gourmet which reveals lovely aromas of ripe red and black fruits. Fine and elegant tannins with a well balanced body."
