Favorite its first vintage, 2018—the year the estate was founded—Alexis Boucard continues to stand out. His aptly named Cuvée No. 1, crafted from venerable Cabernet Franc vines rooted in clay and silica soils, boasts a deep red color with violet highlights, worthy of haute couture. Upon aeration, lively aromas of red and black fruits delight the nose. On the palate, this radiant Bourgueil boasts beautiful body—full, rich, and smooth—infused with flavors of strawberry and cherry. A well-rounded, generous wine that is already highly enjoyable and will continue to be so for several more years.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

This wine has the terroir-driven flavor typical of Cabernet Franc, followed by a silky finish. A great success.

A little burst of crunchy fruit! Freshness and texture are the order of the day!

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/14/2024
With its lively and smooth character, No. 1 offers a delicate, natural profile dominated by crisp fruit, set against a fresh backdrop. It has no tannins or complexity, but offers a lovely roundness, plenty of lightness, and a medium-length finish with notes of cherry and strawberry. Designed to be enjoyed quickly with friends for simple pleasure alongside pizza or charcuterie, particularly Breton andouille—served either cold or hot. Light on the palate and easy on the wallet. Rating = 3.7.
