🏰 Claire et Florent Béjon's "Les Bournais" is a distinctive Cabernet Franc, a confidential cuvée sourced from an isolated parcel of deep clays outside the appellation area. This powerful red wine is known for its age-worthiness, gaining complexity year after year. The 2019 Loire vintage, though complicated by a cold spring and a very hot, dry summer, produced good quality wines despite reduced yields from frost and drought. The estate practices organic farming (though not certified) and employs minimal intervention vinification methods, including manual harvesting, whole grapes, long, gentle macerations, and indigenous yeasts. This wine reveals notes of blackberry, licorice, and humus, with a velvety texture and dense yet unheavy body. For a similar vintage (2021), it captivates with a deep ruby color and enticing aromas of red berries, pepper, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of ripe plum, black cherry, and a hint of earthiness, all underpinned by silky tannins and a refreshing finish. 【A powerful, age-worthy Cabernet Franc from an isolated parcel, crafted with organic practices and minimal intervention】. 🍴 This Cabernet Franc is perfect for pairing with grilled meats or a hearty pasta dish. 🥂 An excellent choice for a dinner with friends who appreciate artisanal, terroir-driven wines, or for a special meal featuring grilled red meats.
