Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Cuvee Alouettes

The Cuvée Alouettes comes from sandier soils, which tend to yield softer wines with very supple tannins—perfect for drinking young. Since it’s similar in style and price to an easy-drinking Beaujolais Villages, you’ll want to drink it chilled. Unlike with other quaffers, though, you can expect a little extra brawn and woodsy fruits like cassis and plum.
