Serge et Bruno Sourdais
Serge et Bruno Sourdais produces Cabernet Franc from Chinon, the Loire Valley's premier red wine appellation. The winery's portfolio centers on this single varietal, which thrives in the region's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils. Le Logis de la Bouchardière stands as the flagship expression, followed by Les Cornuelles Vieilles Vignes, which draws from older vines for added complexity. A core Chinon rounds out the range. Cabernet Franc from Chinon typically shows bright red fruit, mineral precision, and structured tannins—qualities that have drawn assessment from Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. The winery's focus remains narrow and deliberate: capturing the essence of place through a single grape variety.
