Domaine Audebert et Fils Cabernet Franc (2022) – Loire Valley Red Wine

Region: Bourgueil, Loire Valley, France
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Franc
Alcohol: 13.5%

Crafted by the esteemed Domaine Audebert family, this exquisite Cabernet Franc embodies the rich heritage of Loire Valley winemaking. Since 1839, the Audebert family has nurtured their vineyards across Bourgueil, Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil, and Chinon, producing wines that reflect the purity of the terroir.

The 2022 vintage is sourced from a 60-year-old vineyard in Benais, where clay-limestone soils (locally known as tuffeau) impart depth and structure. These mature vines yield small, concentrated grapes, resulting in a bold yet elegant red wine with refined tannins and a distinctive minerality.

Why Choose This Wine?

• Single-Varietal Excellence: Pure Cabernet Franc, showcasing the grape’s signature notes of red berries, violet, and earthy spice.
• Old-Vine Complexity: Decades-old vines deliver intensity and balance.
• Terroir-Driven: The limestone-rich soil adds a unique chalky nuance, a hallmark of premium Loire reds.

Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, charcuterie, or aged cheeses, this wine is a testament to sustainable viticulture and generations of expertise.

Note: Vintage and availability may vary. Enjoy upon release or cellar for added depth.
