Domaine de la Chanteleuserie, Bourgueil Cuvee Alouettes, 2024
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.
