Domaine Audebert & Fils Domaine du Grand Clos is a refreshing, dry red wine coming from the Bourgueil appellation in the Loire Valley, France. The wine is composed entirely from the Cabernet Franc variety, which gives notes of violets and herbaceous undertones. Following the harvest, the grapes are crushed and fermented, before undergoing a period of maturation that helps to round out the tannins and curb the herbaceous character of the grape. The Domaine du Grand Clos Bourgueil lends itself to a wide range of gastronomic pairings given its vibrant acidity and subtle earthy notes.
