This is a 2023 Bourgueil from the Loire Valley in France, made entirely from Cabernet Franc. The vines are 12 years old and grow in gravelly sand, farmed organically with certification.
Catherine and Pierre Breton farm eleven hectares in the village of Restigné, just east of Bourgueil. They make Chinon and Bourgueil, plus a little Vouvray. They received organic certification in 1991, introduced biodynamic practices in 1994, and have recently begun the three-year process toward biodynamic certification. Their vineyards sit on gravel, limestone, clay, schist and yellow tuffeau. Pierre is the principal cellar master, while Catherine makes a series of cuvées under the label La Dilettante. They are known internationally in the natural wine movement.
