Domaine de la Chanteleuserie, "the place where the larks sing," makes some of the finest, most age-worthy wines in Bourgueil. This old-vine bottling is a rare find: expressive and delicious young, with the structure to evolve beautifully in the cellar.

Tasting Notes

"Classic Cabernet Franc notes of red bell pepper and cracked white pepper layered over ripe cherries, cassis and raspberries. Earthy, structured and vibrant. Pair with roasted lamb, herbed pork tenderloin or a classic bistro steak frites." — Harvest Wine Shop

The Winemaker

DOMAINE DE LA CHANTELEUSERIE

Just outside of the village of Benais, in the heart of the Touraine, sits lovely Domaine de la Chanteleuserie. This “place where the larks sing,” as the name means, is perched on a limestone plateau in an idyllic landscape. Moise Boucard, avigneronwhom Kermit discovered in 1976, has not only given his good sense of humor and modesty to his son, Thierry, but his winemaking skills, too. This is the land of Cabernet Franc, and Thierry makes pure varietal wines. Bourgueil is among the most age-worthy of the Loire Valley’s reds, and Chanteleuserie’s are no exception: their 1976 still drinks well today! These structured wines also have a suppleness and generosity of fruit that set them apart from most wines produced in the area today.
