“The crisp freshness of the grapes from the sandy vineyards bursts forth in Diptyque, a delicious and tender wine that is very early to drink. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2017 - RVF) The ultimate everyday wine, the Diptyque cuvée expresses its freshness through aromas of red fruit. Subtle vegetal notes evoke the distinctive character of these 35-year-old Cabernet Franc vines. A perfectly crisp Bourgueil!

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

The crisp freshness of the grapes from the sandy vineyards bursts forth in Dyptique, a sweet and tender wine that ripens very early.

About the estate:

Emmanuel Caslot and his sister Laurie carry on the work of thirteen generations with love and dedication at this historic estate in Bourgueil. Here, Cabernet Franc is vinified with great care to subtly express the terroirs of sand, clay, and limestone found on the lower, middle, and upper slopes. Each label is thoughtfully adorned with a color that reflects the wine’s intensity and complexity: from bright red for the Peu Muleau to deep purple for the Grand-Mont. These iconic Bourgueil wines highlight the refined, cool austerity of Cabernet Franc while embodying a magnificent smoothness of texture. Let us commend the bottle aging in tuffeau cellars prior to release.
