Winery 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: I thought that this wine was very well put together. The nose provided the essence of earth and vanilla, as well as small hints of chocolate and espresso. However, the taste was quite different. I tasted a dry wine with flavors of strawberry and cherry apparent. A very reserved wine, overall.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
