C&P Breton 'Trinch' Bourgueil

"It’s rare for anyone (much less vignerons, who work long days) to be pillars of the community, unofficial appellation ambassadors, bons vivants, cultural icons, and produce village-defining wines all at once. But then again, Catherine and Pierre Breton—along with their daughter France and son Paul—are highly unusual, genuine heroes of French wine, with a seemingly inexhaustible spirit and joie de vivre that courses through all of their endeavors. Named for a German expression meaning “cheers,” championed by the poet and philosopher Rabelais, their Trinch! cuvée embodies this energy. 

Winemaker Notes: "This "Trinch!" bottle from the Bretons is all you need for an every day Cabernet Franc. It's lighter in style than their other wines. Pure dark berry fruit with a touch of thyme. Demonstrating a delicious, musky fruit character, let the wine aerate and open to show its full character. We'll can heartily drink to that! Organic."

(Inside Information: Bridget was at the winery in France and tasted this bottle on location. She says this bottle stateside @MetroWines is like being there.)
