BACKGROUND
Domaine Lamé Delisle Boucard is a historic family-owned estate in the Bourgueil appellation of the Loire Valley, France, with roots dating back to 1869. The estate is renowned for its dedication to Cabernet Franc, producing wines that express the diverse terroirs of the region. The 'Martinière' cuvée comes from vines planted on gravelly soils near the Loire River, which impart a bright, fruit-forward character to the wine. It is known for its vibrant red fruit aromas, supple tannins, and refreshing acidity, making it an excellent representation of classic, approachable Bourgueil.
