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 wine is very fruity, almost as much as a white wine. I get a red berry taste, complemented by its smooth palate and slight sweetness. This was a very classy little wine.
