Hi all, I was recently given 2 VR Bourgeron Rouge kits. One I am going to make for Communion Wine for church and the other just to have around to enjoy while my other kits age. I was also bestowed with a VR Blush kit.
Has anyone made this wine? I notice looking on the WE site that this wine has no Oak to it. I am still confused about the Oak thing but I know my favorite wines areCabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Is it the oaking that gives them their pizazz? Would this wine benefit from added oak?
Educate me please. I have one kit in the primary as of yesterday (10/21-05) so it might be too late to add any to it. Guess I can try to find a commercial version of this wine and try to see if I like.

Bourgeron Rouge™ - VR ( 0 )
A popular blend reminiscent of the finest French appellation offerings. Produces an exquisite, well-balanced, aromatic red wine that is well rounded and robust. A smooth and versatile wine, it may be consumed young, but ages well too.
