Vintage Cellar Review: In the heart of France's Loire River Valley lies the Touraine wine region. Although it produces vast 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: This was my favorite red wine I've had. I usually tend to enjoy to white wine's a little bit more because they aren't as strong, but this red offered a bit more fruit than I've noticed in other red wines. I plan on purchasing a bottle in the near future.
Food: No
