The Boucard family has been crafting Cabernet Franc in Bourgueil since 1822, and this Cuvée Alouettes showcases their organic vineyard's lighter side. Fermented in 125-year-old oak vats using foot pigeage and aged in stainless steel for 8-12 months, it captures fresh fruit character without heavy extraction. The 2024 vintage proved challenging—rain, hail, and frost reduced yields—but concentrated what made it onto these sandy-clay and clay-limestone slopes. Underground tuffeau caves age the wine in cool, constant conditions that have preserved Loire wines for centuries.

More about Domaine de la Chanteleuserie

A Bourgueil institution that Kermit Lynch found back in 1976 and has never let go. The Boucard family—now on the seventh generation—makes delicious, over-delivering Cabernet Franc from 21 hectares. This is the Loire at its most joyous and unpretentious, aged perfectly for immediate pleasure or patient cellaring.
