Nightcap 7: Blackthorn by The Glass - Bourgueil Rosé: Cabernet Franc’s Wild, Rare Side
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
On this week's Nightcap, Blackthorn by the Glass pours something rare and radiant — the 2023 Bourgueil Rosé from Domaine Audebert et Fils in France’s Loire Valley. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc (the grape locals call “Breton”), this saignée-style rosé is bright with strawberry, blood orange, and a whisper of spice. We’ll wander through Bourgueil’s thousand-year wine history, explore why Cabernet Franc thrives here, and share why this fuller-bodied rosé isn’t just for sunny afternoons — it’s made for charcuterie boards, roast chicken, and smoky summer BBQs.
