Famille Bougrier Chinon Cabernet Franc 2022
Loire, France
MEGADEAL: FRENCH RED AT ITS VERY BEST
A SHINING EXAMPLE OF LOIRE VALLEY CABERNET FRANC
This is Chinon as it should be: expressive, drinkable, and full of regional charm. Famille Bougrier calls it “fruity, structured, and gourmet”—we simply call it a must-have.
Since 1885, six generations of the Bougrier family have honed their winemaking craft to produce some of the most elegant wines in France's Loire Valley. This 2022 cabernet franc opens with flavors of juicy cherries and dark berries. There’s a whisper of earthy minerality and herbs, hallmarks of great Chinon, balanced by fine, elegant tannins and a mouthwatering line of acidity. The result is a medium-bodied red that’s smooth, vibrant, and dangerously easy to love.
At just $24.99 on case buys, this is an exceptional buy for anyone who appreciates quality in the glass.

The winery writes "A cabernet franc from the Loire Valley as we like it - fruity, structured and gourmet which reveals lovely aromas of ripe red and black fruits. Fine and elegant tannins with a well balanced body."
