Created in 1937, the AOC Bourgueil is located to the west of Tours on the right bank of the Loire and covers 1,400 hectares of clay-limestone tuffeauin an oceanic climate. 96% of the production is dedicated to red wine, made exclusively from the cabernet franc grape variety. Two terroirs make up the appellation: the gravel (or graves) are located near the Loire, while the clay-limestone tuffeau is further inland. The reds are known for their pleasant and aromatic character and are delightful in their youth. However, some vintages exhibit great depth and can be cellared for several years before being enjoyed at their peak.The Déchainée cuvée from the Lamé Delisle Boucard estate perfectly illustrates this first type of 100% pleasure wine!
