The AOC Bourgueil comes from the Touraine sub-region. It is located on the banks of the Loire River, 50km west of Tours, on 1,400 hectares of fat and sticky tuffeau. 70,000 hl/year of juice are produced here. This wine-growing landscape has several levels, with more strongly ventilated heights, and a climate that is more subject to oceanic influences than the rest of the Touraine sub-region.
80% of the production are red wines, resembling to the AOC Chinon, made from Cabernet Franc. The "gravel wines" are the most present, they are supple, aromatic and fruity with a beautiful purple color. They can be kept for 5 to 10 years. The "tuff wines" are full-bodied and tannic in their youth, but capable of a long aging, they can blossom and then present characters of a very interesting aromatic complexity.
