WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Alouettes Bourgueil is a vibrant and fresh red wine from the Bourgueil AOC in the Loire Valley. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, the grapes are sourced from vineyards with silico-clay soils surrounding the estate, which contribute to the wine's aromatic complexity. The 30-year-old vines benefit from a vinification process that emphasizes fruit preservation, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks for 12 to 18 days. The wine is aged in stainless steel for 8 to 12 months, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine through, making it a wine to enjoy now or within the next 7 years.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Alouettes Bourgueil offers fresh, bright flavors of red berries and a touch of herbaceousness, characteristic of Cabernet Franc.Its lively acidity and soft tannins make it an ideal pairing with grilled meats, charcuterie, or goat cheese. Serve slightly chilled, and enjoy within a few years for its fruit-forward freshness. This wine is ready to drink now, though it can also be cellared for a few years to develop further complexity.
