{"product_id":"miniere-colette-bourgeuil-cabernet-franc","title":"Miniere 'Colette' Bourgeuil Cabernet Franc","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Minière is a 29-hectare organically farmed estate in the Loire Valley, originally established in the 15th century as a fortified farm before evolving into a mansion and later a château. Local lore even suggests it inspired Charles Perrault’s vision of the castle in Sleeping Beauty. There’s a strong feminine lineage here that continues today under the ownership and direction of Kathleen Van den Berghe. Kathleen and her family are deeply committed to organic farming, low-intervention winemaking, and a broader lifestyle that prioritizes sustainability and respect for place.\nTheir focus is singular: Cabernet Franc, made in a way that reflects the diversity of their sites rather than a single house style. The goal is transparency — wines that speak clearly of Loire Valley fruit, structure, and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType: Red\u003cbr\u003e Vintage: 2024\u003cbr\u003e Size: 3L\u003cbr\u003e Grape: Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e Region: Bourgueil, Loire, France\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor the nerds: Chris interviewed Melissa on his podcast - check it out! https:\/\/www.guildsomm.com\/public_content\/features\/podcasts\/b\/guild_podcasts\/posts\/alternative-packaging-with-mw-melissa-saunders\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau de Miniere","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":66694039994672,"sku":"12579","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.walters-wine.com\/products\/miniere-colette-bourgeuil-cabernet-franc","provider":"Walter's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
