This 2018 Bourgueil Cabernet Franc is best served slightly chilled at 15-17°C. We recommend decanting it for about 1 hour to soften its tannins and enhance its aromatic complexity. Its optimal drink window is from now until 2028 and possibly a few years beyond.

This Bourgueil is a medium-bodied Cabernet Franc, known for its vibrant red fruit, characteristic green bell pepper notes, earthy undertones, and firm tannins with refreshing acidity. It pairs excellently with Taiwanese beef noodle soup, Szechuan mapo tofu, Korean kimchi stew, grilled yakitori, and char siu.

This bottle is in excellent condition with a perfect label, an in-neck fill level, and an intact capsule. For optimal home storage, keep it in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature between 12-15°C and around 70% humidity, ideally on its side to keep the cork moist.

Loire Valley Cabernet Francs, like this Bourgueil, offer excellent value for their quality and are fantastic for drinking. While they typically don't command the same investment potential as top Bordeaux or Burgundy, they are highly regarded for their character and can age gracefully for several years.
