Domaine Pichard “Bouchy” Cabernet Franc is a quietly serious Madiran red that leans into Cabernet Franc’s best side: savoury, aromatic and built for the table rather than the fruit-bomb crowd. Bouchy delivers that classic Madiran profile of red and dark berries, leafy/herbal lift, a touch of peppery spice and a gently structured, food-ready finish that keeps you coming back for another glass. This is an ideal bottle for midweek dinners that deserve better wine: roast chicken, pork chops, lentil dishes, charcuterie, mushroom pasta, or anything coming off a grill pan. If you like Cabernet Franc when it’s more fresh and savoury than sweet and oaky, this is a smart, characterful pick. Serving tip: A short decant (15–30 minutes) helps it open up. Serve around 14–16°C (slightly cool) for maximum lift and freshness.
