Grape

Cabernet Franc

Origin
The red wines of Bourgueil, east of Saumur, display the powerful aromas and fruit of Cabernet Franc in a medium bodied style. Pierre-Jacques Druet is regarded as one of the most talented winemakers in this region.
Taste
Remarkably pure, ripe blackberry fruit on a concentrated and richly textured palate. Soft tannin, great power, depth and intensity.
Enjoy
A wine to go with anything from shepherd's pie to pâté. Can be served lightly chilled.

    exceptional value

    Pierre Jacques Druet is an exceptional wine maker, with two to three years barrel ageing the norm. 2003 was one of his best vintages of this century and this wine, if opened two hours before drinking, is an absolute delight. Light, soft, fruity and rounded with a long lingering finish it reflects his Bordeaux training. Simply, a gem from a genius.

Press Reviews

  • "Well done, Majestic, for tracking down a parcel of this mature Loire red from one of the region’s top growers. It’s a classic Cabernet Franc – grassy and soft with fresh acidity. There’s a savoury/gamey note that might not be to everyone’s taste, but we loved its bottle-aged complexity. The price is even more appealing if you buy two bottles for £8.99 each. One of this month’s Five Best Value Wines. Score: 91/100"
