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 wine had a rather smokey nose along with a slight oaky scent. There were some slight tannins in the mouth feel.
