Winemaker Notes
Young vines from Bourgeuil's leading organic farmer and unofficial village mayor, Pierre Gauthier. Jour de Soif translates to day of thirst and essentially means this red wine will quench your thirst any day, any season – poolside with grilled meats in the summer and fireside in the winter. This is a go to for daily enjoyment.
Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.
On the north bank of the Loire Valley in the western end of the greater Touraine region, Bourgueil makes a sturdy and aromatic Cabernet Franc.
