2020 Bourgueil, Jour de Soif, Gauthier, Domaine du Bel Air, Loire

Description

Pierre Gauthier’s Jour de Soif is not the traditional Bourgueil you can expect; it is meant to be a go-to easy-drinking, juicy, and crunchy light red wine, perfect for an aperitif or a hot summer’s day! The 2020 is exactly that. The nose boasts fresh black and red cherries, strawberry jam, and raspberry. The palate has lovely notes of crunchy red fruit and crushed stones, enhancing the freshness and juicy and smooth tannins. One to drink now without moderation!

About this wine

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc it may constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard - it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St.Emilion where it adapts well to the cooler and moister clay soils - Cheval Blanc is the most famous Cabernet Franc wine in the world, with the final blend consisting of up to 65% of the grape.
