TOURAINE AZAY LE RIDEAU P’TIT BERTON DOMAINE BADILLER 20

Description

Heir to a line of winegrowers dating back to 1789, Marc Badiller set up in 1984 on the family estate, established between the Loire and the forest of Chinon: 13 hectares on the hillsides of Cheillé producing a wide range of Touraine wines. In 2015, the latest generation (Pierre and Vincent) took the helm.
P’tit Berton 2019 is a light, harmonious red wine that you’ll enjoy drinking on any occasion. You will certainly find slightly spicy and liquorice notes.
P’tit Berton is the nickname given by our grandmother to the Cabernet franc known as ‘Breton’ in our region. This unpretentious, light and easy-drinking cuvée goes well with everything, and in particular with Granny Hélène’s Sunday roast chicken.
Elegance and discretion are the hallmarks of this confidential cuvée. The nose, typical of Cabernet Franc, opens with red fruit, jam and the inevitable notes of pepper. The palate is on a par with this, with a pleasant roundness and smooth tannins.
