2014 Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil Cuvee Trinch
$156 6pack |
|
The Breton’s are international icons for their passion and integrity that results in great wines. “Trinch” is named after a German expression meaning “cheers” championed by the poet and philosopher Rabelais. It is a Cabernet Franc from younger vines vinified in stainless steel with a cold maceration. It is made for early consumption and typically has very accessible fruit, soft tannins and low alcohol. Bottled in the Spring after harvest. Kermit Lynch is calling it the best vintage in a decade — we won’t argue that! |
