Domaine du Bel Air’s Jour de Soif 2022 is exactly what its name suggests, literally “Day of Thirst.” This is Cabernet Franc made for drinking rather than overthinking: bright, juicy, fresh and deliberately light on its feet.

Produced in Bourgueil in France’s Loire Valley, Jour de Soif is made from 100% Cabernet Franc, grown on a combination of gravel terraces and clay soils with a southerly exposure. Domaine du Bel Air has been certified organic since 2000, and this cuvée is designed to preserve the purity and energy of the fruit rather than bury it beneath oak.

The grapes are fully destemmed and carefully sorted before undergoing a cold pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Extraction is kept gentle, with approximately eight days on skins and temperatures kept below 25°C. The wine is then matured in tank on its fine lees before bottling the following spring. There is no oak ageing here, freshness, fruit and drinkability are very much the point.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Bright ruby-purple with youthful violet reflections.

Nose: Fresh and immediately inviting, with raspberry, cherry and other crunchy red fruits alongside delicate floral notes and a subtle herbal edge characteristic of Cabernet Franc.

Palate: Light-bodied, juicy and energetic. Red fruit takes centre stage, supported by lively acidity and very gentle tannins. There’s enough structure to keep things interesting without sacrificing the easy-drinking nature of the wine.

Finish: Fresh and clean with a distinctive saline, mineral edge that makes another glass dangerously easy to justify.

Serving & Food Pairing

This is one Cabernet Franc that actively benefits from being served slightly chilled. The producer even recommends cooling it in a bucket of cold water rather than serving it at traditional red wine room temperature. 

Excellent alongside charcuterie, roast or grilled chicken, pork, lighter meat dishes, mushrooms and fresh cheeses, but equally suited to being opened on its own when something fresh and uncomplicated is required.
