About Bourgueil Wines
Bourgueil produces some of the Loire's most ageworthy reds, again from Cabernet Franc. Vineyards planted on gravel yield brighter, earlier-drinking styles, while the tuffeau limestone parcels give wines that firm up and last.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bourgueil a red or white appellation?
Almost entirely red, with a small amount of rosé. The reds pair beautifully with roast meats and hard cheeses.
Which vintages should I look for?
Cooler years bring finesse; sunnier ones bring depth. Serious collectors often hold bottles alongside Chinon for comparison.
