Product details
The Coup de Foudre Les Bouquinistes 2021 is a Napa Valley masterpiece that brings together five varietals—Petit Verdot, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, and Zinfandel—in a harmonious field blend. This wine intrigues with its dark garnet hue and captivating aromas of red raspberry, red plum, milk chocolate, lavender, and a subtle touch of eucalyptus. The palate opens with luxurious notes of dark chocolate, mint tea, and clove before transitioning to bright red fruits. A crescendo of tannins builds towards a grippy finish, with lingering flavors of red currant and white pepper, creating a complex and memorable tasting experience. Perfectly structured to enjoy now or age gracefully through 2031, it’s a wine that evolves beautifully with each sip.
Crafted during an exceptional 2021 growing season, which balanced a warm spring, hot summer, and cool fall harvest, this vintage showcases the very best of Napa Valley terroir. Each release of *Les Bouquinistes* celebrates storytelling, and Chapter Seven honors Delphine Minoui’s poignant book *“I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced.”* This blend is not only a tribute to winemaking artistry but also to the power of narrative—an ideal pairing for those who appreciate fine wine and meaningful stories.
