St-Nicolas de Bourgueil Les VII Arpents de la Chapelle aux Vignes AOP Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgeuil
A light style, fermented and matured for six months in tank. It is bright in colour with lots of appealing raspberry, red fruits and wine gum aromas with a leafy edge. It is elegant and smooth with a fine texture and tangy herbal finish. It was made from Cabernet Franc grapes cultivated from sandy, gravelly soils. Perfect for drinking early. Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil is on the right bank of the Loire River. The Appellation is one of Touraine’s best for red wines, alongside Chinon.
Saumur Champigny, "Sur le Tuffeau", AOP Saumur-Champigny
A more substantial wine with earthy red fruit aromas. It has layers of flavour with good depth of fruit and a supple finish. Cabernet Franc vines are on limestone and tufa soils on the south bank of the river. It was aged in vats to preserve the fruit. The town of Saumur sits on the river Loire roughly halfway between Angers and Tours. Around it lies the Cabernet Franc vineyards of Saumur-Champigny Appellation on both sides of the river.
