Domaine du Bel Air, Bourgueil 'Jour de Soif' 2023 Syrah and a nice nutty elementPlace: Loire, France Grape: Cabernet Franc Vibe: Classic A real contender for the ultimate bistro wine. While the French know how to deliver a reliable plat du jour, the wine list at those rustic bistros hasnt always kept pace. This is exactly what they should be pouring. Quaffable Cab Franc all done in steel for a wine full of crunchy red fruit, a wisp of smoke, and high acidity. ABV: 13%
