• Shop/wine critic/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: This red wine has a nice and bright red color that is not too dark. It smells like berries, a little fruity and yummy. When tasting this wine, it has a short body with a soft finish. Overall this wine does not have too much going on, it is light and relaxing to drink. It is a nice wine for beginners to sip on.
• I had this wine at wine tasting with bread and cheese.
