Le Bois Bonnard

Touraine Cabernet Franc 100%

Geoffrey De Nouel Le Bois Bonnard is a stunning expression of Cabernet Franc from the esteemed Touraine region. This wine captures the essence of its terroir with remarkable elegance and finesse. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of blackcurrant, raspberry, and a gentle hint of green pepper, all underpinned by subtle floral notes. The palate is medium-bodied, exhibiting a vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing liveliness. Silky tannins provide a smooth structure without overpowering the fruit flavors, which remain beautifully balanced throughout. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving a lasting impression of bright red fruits and a touch of herbal complexity. This Cabernet Franc is a true testament to the quality and character of Touraine wines, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a refined yet approachable red wine.

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.
