This is a great value. Very pleasant light package (many other Bourgueil are thicker sweeter stuff, legally including Cabernet). Underripe strawberry on nose and palate, juicy plum, geranium a bit and some sweet toasted cedar more typical to Bourgueil. Great food wine or vin de soif.

My list 20 under $20. Refreshing, slight earthy, not over acidic, easy drinking.

Nice. Drinkable. Doesn't have that distinctive can franc can-francy-ness / dust factor, but that's ok. I'm getting grapes. Another good value. Purchased at Uva
