Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil Les Perrieres (2017) – The Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil Les Perrieres 2017 is a vibrant and flavorful red wine from the Loire Valley region of France. It is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, which are grown on a vineyard with limestone and clay soils. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of black fruit, herbs, and a hint of floral notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins, flavors of dark cherries, blackcurrant, and a subtle earthiness. It has a good acidity that balances the fruit and gives it a long and savory finish.
This wine is a great expression of the terroir of the Bourgueil appellation, and the Breton’s philosophy of minimal intervention and sustainable winemaking practices. It is an excellent choice to pair with roasted meats, stews, or aged cheeses.
