Famille Bougrier, Les Terrasses Cabernet Franc, St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Loire, France 2024

A great, approachable summer red, this unoaked Cabernet Franc from the Loire combines lively acidity with sappy, bright cherry and raspberry, strawberry fruit. It's basically summer pudding in a glass, unoaked to maximise freshness, but with 10 to 20 days' skin contact adding texture. Stick it in the fridge for 15 minutes before you open it, and it will be even more perfect for summer sipping.
