Wine guide
Updated
The wine from the appellation of Bourgueil is grown on the north of the Loire river. These vineyards produce red wine using the Cabernet Franc grape - though some do contain small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Covering over 1,200 hectares, the vineyards are flat in topography and are relatively porous. Dependant on whether the ground is limestone or gravel, the wines can be more or less aromatic, sometimes with raspberries or violets.
