You're here : The estate / Presentation of the Domaine Breton

Bourgueillothérapie 2011

Terre France Loire Bourgueil Les Galichets

The Domaine Breton is a vast wine-growing estate.
The Pierre Family have lived here since the mists of time, the vineyards have been its outlet of creativity for generations. It is where the Cabernet Franc, coincidentally known as the 'Breton' grape, finds its fullest expression.

A single grape variety, a plethora of flavours:
The hasty grapes burst open during an afternoon's fishing, the leisurely wine lingers longer on a beautifully set table.

The light of the Loire...
