Oh La Vache! Rouge

IGP Atlantique, France

2020

Bordeaux winemakers since 1821, the Famille Bouey are very proud of the eco-responsible “Oh La Vache!” wine, that is produced with the utmost respect to biodiversity. Certified High Environment Value (HEV) Level 3, the wine is bottled in recycled and refined glass, its label is produced from cane sugar fibres, and its cork comes from sustainable forests. This wine is made to be enjoyed…and then returned to the terroir.

Tasting Notes

This easy-drinking wine has a brilliant ruby-red color, with purple reflections. Aromas of ripe strawberries, blackberries and Morello cherries fill the glass. The palate is well-balanced, with supple and velvety tannins and copious red fruit.

A pretty nose of cherries, strawberries, plum stones, dried herbs and orange peel. Medium-bodied with sleek tannins and a bright acidity. Juicy and crunchy with fresh red-fruit notes and a joyful finish. Drink now.
