The estate and the wine |
|
|
A new sensation in the Loire Valley with a meteoric rise, Domaine des Ouches is a precious address rapidly gaining attention. Discovered some time ago by our Selection Committee and featured in the RVF Guide, this estate offers wines with an outstanding quality-to-price ratio that should not be overlooked.
Thomas and Denis Gambier craft vividly colored and concentrated Cabernet Francs with prominent tannins, maintaining a truly fruity expression and a sublime, honest approach. |

| | |
|
Rated 92-93/100 by the Selection Committee, the 2021 red Bourgueil Cuvée Igoranda expresses Cabernet Franc in its purest form, with exemplary graphite notes and beautifully mature harvest qualities. Fleshy, fresh, and modestly aged, it boasts well-integrated and refined tannins. This delightful Loire red has a crisp and juicy profile, perfect for aging 6 to 7 years or pairing with a beef cheek dish. |
|
| | |
|
Hand-harvested, vatted for around twenty days, aged partly in vats and partly in tuns. |
