Fun Facts:  Beneath the towns that flank the central Loire Valley, deep underground lies another world.  In the town of Bourgueil, there’s a world of caves, dug into limestone by prior generations—folks who knew that the ideal place to nurture a bottle of wine is deep within the same earth that nourishes the vines from which it came.  The Lamé-Delisile-Boucard vineyards date back to 1869 and this ethereal, ideal way of storing wine came out of necessity during WWII to save their families legacy and preserve vintages, dating back to 1911.
