2020 Domaine Bouchaud Pont Caffino French Red Wine

Experience the terroir-driven excellence of Domaine Bouchaud’s 2020 Melon de Bourgogne from France’s Loire Valley. This crisp white wine hails from Château Thebaud’s prestigious cru vineyard, nestled where the Sevre and Maine rivers converge. Unlike its sibling Le Perd Son Pain, which thrives on schist soils, Pont Caffino benefits from granite terrain that imparts a distinct mineral intensity. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a precise vinification process designed to preserve vibrant acidity and stony minerality without prolonged sur lie aging. Expect aromas of green apple and pear pith to mingle with subtle stony notes on the palate, creating a refreshing balance ideal for seafood or al fresco dining. At 12% ABV, this Loire Valley gem offers a refined alternative to richer whites, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs seeking terroir authenticity.
