France

This wine from Sylvain and Nicolas is a showcase for just how mutable a grape like Cabernet Franc is. This bottle, fermented using the carbonic maceration technique, is juicy, bright, and best enjoyed with a chill. The method, popular in Beaujolais, gives wine an inherent lightness. Add to that the innate darkness of the Cabernet Franc grape, it creates an interesting, totally idiosyncratic, yet delicious wine. JUICY GLOU-GLOU EASY-GOING CHILLABLE YOUTHFUL

Treat this like a slightly heavier Beaujolais. It'll be a fabulous foil for a classic burger or one with a veggie patty, a strip steak with a mushroom sauce, or a roasted eggplant with tahini sauce.
