The Chevalerie cuvée comes from the eponymous plot on the clay-limestone hillside in the commune of Restigné. The Caslot family cultivates Cabernet Franc vines there with rigor and dedication. The 2006 vintage reveals notes of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) with spicy aromas reminiscent of gray pepper and clove. A delectable introduction to the Bourgueil appellation ...

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

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.
