Description

Bourgueil Domaine Audebert et Fils 37.5 cl: a fruity Loire Valley red

Bourgueil Domaine Audebert et Fils is a red wine from the Loire Valley in France, made from Cabernet Franc, a grape variety closely associated with the Bourgueil appellation. This 37.5 cl half bottle is a convenient option for smaller meals, informal gatherings or anyone who would like to explore a Loire red without opening a standard 75 cl bottle. Calais Vins describes the 2024 vintage as a light, fruit-forward red. The listed alcohol content is 12.5%. Its approachable style makes it worth considering for everyday dining and relaxed occasions when a red wine with a fruity character is preferred over a particularly heavy or powerful style.

Cabernet Franc and the Bourgueil appellation

Cabernet Franc is an important grape in the Loire Valley and is widely associated with the red wines of Bourgueil. The style of the finished wine can vary according to the vintage, vineyard conditions and winemaking choices. For this Audebert et Fils bottling, the product information highlights a light and fruity profile. This makes it a versatile choice to consider for meals where the wine should complement the food rather than overpower it. It can be served at a family lunch, a casual dinner or a gathering with friends.

Food pairing ideas

Charcuterie is a straightforward pairing option for this Bourgueil. It can also be served with roasted or grilled poultry, particularly alongside vegetables or a simple side dish. The product information also suggests goat’s cheese, fish and grilled fish as possible matches. If serving it with fish, consider a preparation with restrained seasoning, fresh herbs or grilled vegetables to help keep the overall pairing balanced. These are suggestions rather than strict rules: the ideal match depends on the recipe, the seasoning and personal taste. For a casual meal, a shared platter with charcuterie, cheese and bread can provide an easy way to serve the wine.

A practical half-bottle format

The 37.5 cl bottle is useful for a meal for two, a small gathering or a tasting of several wines. It allows drinkers to explore the Bourgueil appellation without opening a full-size bottle and can be convenient when the amount of wine needed is limited. The smaller format also works well as part of a meal where guests are offered several different drinks. The listed vintage is 2024, and the alcohol content shown by the retailer is 12.5%. As product details may change between bottlings, check the label on the bottle you receive to confirm the vintage and alcohol information.
