Bourgueil Trinch! Cabernet Franc Catherine & Pierre Breton, biodynamic, crunchy, youthful, fruity Loire valley red wine. This delightful little number is classic Bourgueil, with bright red fruits, soft tannins and a touch of liquorice. Versatile and not too heavy, this is a perfect summer red, or for light lunches of charcuterie and coarse pâté. The name Trinch comes from a German expression meaning cheers, derived from the sound that glasses make when they clink together. The grapes come from younger vines vinified in stainless steel with a cold maceration to preserve the character of fruit. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled with a minimum of sulphur.

Alex Traska –
After enjoying other wines from Catherine and Pierre Breton, I threw a bottle of “Trinch!” into a recent order out of curiosity. On pouring I knew we were in for a treat – the most incredibly dense, vivid violet colour, a punch in the nose then bunches of red fruits and blueberries on the palate, with bags of structure from perfectly balanced tannins. The bottle was gone in a flash. Amazing wine for just £18!
