Beau Gosse is 100% Cabernet Franc sourced from Domaine de Pintray, an organically farmed estate in Lussault-sur-Loire, Touraine. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed by hand, and underwent a 14-day maceration in tank with gentle punch-downs done by hand and foot at the start of fermentation.
After pressing, the wine was transferred to old barrels for 10 months of elevage. No filtration. Indigenous yeast only. A small dose of sulfur may be added before bottling solely for stability during transport, per Lisanne van Son's stated practice across all Sonshine wines.
Winemaker Lisanne van Son is a Dutch-born former sommelier who relocated to Touraine in 2017 and completed her winemaking diploma in Amboise. She vinifies out of a troglodyte cave in Noizay, sourcing only organically or biodynamically grown fruit from partner growers. The 2018 vintage was her first full production year, yielding six wines total.
Expect a dry, mid-weight red with bright red fruit, earthy undertones, and the herbal lift typical of Loire Cab Franc. Light tannins, lively acidity, and a long finish. Can be served slightly cool.
