Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Alouettes Cabernet Franc 2008 - $13



A Cab Franc from the Loire region. Yes, they make reds in the Loire. Who knew?

David: Medium to light red/magenta in color. Nose of red currant, rose garden. Medium to light bodied. Racy acidity. Tart, cherry, raspberry fruit. Good structure but simple and light. Nice grippy tannins. Pleasant finish. Quite different from the big ripe, reds from regions with more sunshine. Defintely well made. Interesting to try these different styles.
Score: 3.8/5
