The passion and mastery of Domaine de la Cotelleraie are exceptionally expressed in the Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Pigeur Fou. This wine, hailing from the picturesque Loire region in France, is crafted exclusively from Cabernet Franc grapes, cultivated in meticulously selected vineyards and tended with environmentally friendly methods.

At first glance, the Pigeur Fou presents itself with an intense and vibrant ruby red color.

On the palate, the wine is structured yet elegant, with soft tannins and a persistent freshness that evokes the minerality of its native soil.

Ideal for accompanying red meat dishes, aged cheeses, or a classic coq au vin, the Pigeur Fou is a true and vibrant expression of the Cabernet Franc variety. A wine that deserves to be discovered by wine lovers seeking a unique and terroir-driven experience. Serve slightly chilled to enhance all its flavors.
