Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Cabernet Franc Vieilles Vignes, Bourgueil AOC , Loire Valley, France 2019
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
