Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Alouettes

Cabernet Franc
Bourgueil, Loire, France

Just outside of the village of Benais, in the heart of the Touraine, sits the lovely Domaine de la Chanteleuserie. This “place where the larks sing,” as the name means, is perched on a limestone plateau in an idyllic landscape. Thierry and Christine Boucard are 7th generation winemakers, producing wines that despite their structure, have a suppleness and generosity of fruit that set them apart from most wines produced in the area today. The Cuvée Alouettes is fresh and ready to be drunk young.
