Our Favorite: Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Red Wine Magnum

Looking for a great wine gift idea that will delight someone special? The 1.5-liter Cuvée Coup de Coeur magnum from Domaine de Chopinière du Roy perfectly embodies your precious moments with loved ones. From our emblematic Cuvée Coquelicot, made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, this Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil wine is aged in oak barrels and comes from old vines (90 years old). With a cellaring potential of 6 to 7 years, this wine gift allows you the choice to open the bottle now or wait to savor it. We recommend enjoying the Cuvée Coup de Cœur with duck, game, beef cuts, or cheese.
