Cuvée Signée

2008 Bourgueil 100% Cabernet Franc

The Cuvee Signée is a standout red wine from the Bourgueil region, showcasing the elegant character of 100% Cabernet Franc. This vintage, crafted with meticulous care, presents a lovely deep ruby hue that captivates at first glance. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of vibrant red fruits complemented by subtle herbal notes and hints of earthiness, characteristic of the terroir. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with lively acidity that brings balance and freshness to the palate. Tannins are present yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is perfectly dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty vegetarian fare, while the clean finish leaves you wanting just a little more. Overall, the Cuvee Signée is expressive and demonstrates the true potential of Cabernet Franc from this beautiful Loire Valley region.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
