What it tastes like

Domaine de la Chevalerie Franco de Porc Bourgueil 2020 is a bright, energetic Cabernet Franc with aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, and crushed cherry. On the palate, it's fresh and lively, with subtle floral tones, earthy undertones, and silky tannins that lead to a clean, mineral finish.

Perfect with grilled lamb, roast chicken, or mushroom dishes. It also pairs beautifully with charcuterie, herbed cheeses, or lentil-based vegetarian meals. Slightly chilled, it becomes even more refreshing and food-friendly.

The grape

Cabernet Franc

Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux

Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.

Where it's from

Loire Valley

France

France's garden stretches 1,000km from the Atlantic to the Massif Central. Muscadet for oysters; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé for Sauvignon Blanc purists; Vouvray for Chenin in all its forms; Chinon and Bourgueil for the finest Loire reds.
