Shop Review: In the heart of France's Loire River Vally lies the Touraine wine region. Although it produces vasts amounts of well-priced, fresh, mostly white wines, lovely reds like this are broadening Touraine's appeal. this wine may seem familiar to you. It is a sibling of the Touraine Sauvignon Blanc we've offered for years. Serge de Bucy employs a light touch in his winemaking using no wood and doing as little as possible to preserve freshness. Bright cherry and strawberry fruits are followed by a soft, smooth palate.
My Review: Great wine. It gives off a aroma of old berries layered onto ripe strawberries. The palate is this semi-sweet dried fruit flavor that wafts around hints of parchment and light smoke. Low acid, medium tannins, complexity, and alcohol. Medium plus length.
