Domaine de l'Oubliee Bourgueil Merci la Vie 2021

This lean and precise Cabernet Franc celebrates the lighter side of Loire Valley reds. Named after filmmaker Bertrand Blier's "Thank You Life," it's a wine that invites effortless drinking over lunch or whenever the mood strikes. Hand-harvested from sandy-clay soils on Saint-Patrice's signature terroirs, it delivers red fruit depth with subtle notes of leather and tobacco. Xavier Courant's organic estate is a beacon of sustainable winemaking in Bourgueil.
