Why shop with us?
Bourgueil Domaine De La Butte Le Haut De La Butte 2023 is a characterful Loire Cabernet Franc that brings together freshness, precision, and a clear sense of place. Sourced from one of Bourgueil’s most respected estates, it offers a modern, terroir-driven expression of the appellation, with the kind of elegance and drinkability that have made Loire reds so enduringly loved.
Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, ruby-red color with a lively, youthful edge. On the nose, it typically shows fresh red berries, violets, graphite, and subtle herbal notes, with a light earthy or stony character that reflects the Loire Valley’s cooler climate.
On the palate, the wine is usually medium-bodied and finely structured, with crisp acidity, supple tannins, and flavors of red currant, cherry, and savory spice. The finish is clean and persistent, with enough balance to drink well now while also suggesting a few years of graceful aging.
Production
Le Haut de la Butte comes from Bourgueil in the Loire Valley, an area known for Cabernet Franc grown on clay, limestone, and tuffeau soils that help preserve freshness and mineral definition. The grapes are typically harvested with care to ensure ripe fruit and balance, then vinified in a way that emphasizes purity, texture, and the natural aromatic profile of the variety, rather than heavy extraction.
Food & Serving
This wine is a natural partner for roast poultry, duck breast, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and lighter game, as well as grilled vegetables and aged goat cheese. Serve it slightly cool, around 15–17°C, and decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up its aromas if enjoyed young.
Producer
Domaine de la Butte is a highly regarded Bourgueil estate associated with some of the Loire’s most expressive Cabernet Franc bottlings. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for crafting wines that combine finesse, depth, and a strong connection to terroir, helping to elevate the profile of Bourgueil on the international stage.
