Hervé Lhuillier took over the estate in the late 1990s, continuing to draw on advice from his parents, who had run it for nearly 50 years before him. The 30- to 40-hectare vineyard sits on clay-limestone soils near Fronsac, in the village of Vérac on Bordeaux's right bank, and Hervé has built a reputation as one of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation's rising stars, producing wines built to age in the style of the region's classified growths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"La Bergeronnette\" is a 100% Cabernet Franc, the second of the estate's single-varietal wines, launched a year after their pioneering Malbec bottling. It's made from a careful selection of the estate's best Cabernet Franc parcels, a grape that in Bordeaux typically plays a supporting role in blends but here is given full expression on its own. Expect a nose of peony and fresh red berries, with the light barrel aging lending subtle complexity without masking the grape's natural freshness, and a medium-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a rare, single-varietal take on Cabernet Franc from an estate known for pushing past Bordeaux's conventional blending traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Wine Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42633745367122,"sku":"90-7-2018","price":41.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/davidswinecellar.com\/products\/red-cabernet-franc-bordeaux","provider":"David's Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
