In the glass

Aroma: red plum, raspberry, violet, fresh herb

The estate's gateway Bourgueil, blending sand-and-gravel terrace parcels for a juicy, biodynamic Cabernet Franc to drink in its first decade.

What it pairs with

• Rillettes de Touraine on sourdough
  Pork rillettes and Bourgueil Cabernet Franc are a regional cornerstone.
• Roast chicken with shallots
  Chicken and the wine's herbal lift refresh between bites.
• Vegetable gratin with herbs
  Summer vegetables and the wine's saline finish are aligned.

History

Peu Muleau is the estate's gateway Bourgueil, named for the village street where the cellars sit. Drawn from younger sand-and-gravel parcels under Demeter biodynamic care.
