Bourgueil Avis de Vin Fort 2022 Domaine Breton

Bourgueil Avis de Vin Fort is a red wine produced by Domaine Breton in Benais, Loire, and obtained from pure Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested manually and coming from a plot rich in clay. Fermentation is spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts and maceration for a few days. The wine ages for 10 months in non-first passage wood. Bourgueil Avis de Vin Fort has a variegated nose that tells of humus and undergrowth, herbaceous and mineral notes, red petaled flowers and smoky puffs. Thirst-quenching and slender in the mouth, light and exuberant, to try with grilled meat

Benais, Loire

The Breton family was born for wine, curiously in fact here the Cabernet Franc is called Breton, and they live in an ancient farmhouse with adjacent cellars and surrounded by nature: Vineyards and Woods.

The company is right in the center of the Bourguel-Benais-Restignè triangle and extends over 11 hectares raised in a natural way.

The grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts, but in different containers, based on the soil of their origin. Those that come from gravelly areas go into stainless steel, while those that come from clayey ones end up in old oak vats.
