Domaine des Geleries Vieilles Vignes Bourgueil

Bourgueil (central Loire Valley) is the birthplace of Cabernet Franc wines, having been grown and produced at the Abbey de Bourgueil for more than 1,000 years. On the south-facing hillsides of Bourgueil, clay and limestone soils called "tuffeau" are the most common in this area.  This silky red wine is reminiscent of lush raspberries, ripe cherries and a bouquet that adds notes of newly sharpened pencils.  The palate is ripe and dense but nicely balanced with deep black raspberry/cassis fruit with firm acidity and chalky minerals in the finish.
