THE FRENCH RED BARGAIN OF THE YEAR!!!!!!
A SHINING EXAMPLE OF MIDDLEWEIGHT, LOIRE VALLEY CHINON (CABERNET FRANC). A MASSIVE, REPEAT MASSIVE, OPPORTUNITY FOR FRENCH RED WINE BUYERS LOOKING FOR A GENUINELY REWARDING OPTION AT A COMPELLING PRICE POINT. 

You could have knocked us over with a feather when this deal came across our desks, This is Chinon as it should be: expressive, softly savoury, and full of regional charm. Famille Bougrier calls it “fruity, structured, and gourmet” - we simply call it a must-have. If this isn't the best value French red wine offered in the Kiwi market this year, we would dearly love to know a more deserving option! 

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 flavours 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. This lovely wine drinks like $30 French Cabernet Franc in anyone's language, and at just $14.99 on case buys, it is an exceptional buy for anyone who appreciates quality in the glass. 

*As a young Loire Valley wine, it will benefit from decantering should you choose to do so.
