" Magnificent velvety texture on the palate, slightly more exuberant than the 2014, cool and slender. It will relax with energy. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) This dynamic cuvée is made from young Cabernets imbued with the limestone character of their hillside terroir. A very beautiful finish, extended by lovely bitter and smoky notes.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About wine:

Magnificently velvety on the palate, slightly more exuberant than the 2014, cool and slender. It will relax with energy.

About the estate:

Emmanuel Caslot and his sister Laurie lovingly and meticulously continue the work of thirteen generations in this historic Bourgueil estate. Here, Cabernet Franc is vinified with real gentleness to express the nuances of the sandy, clay, and limestone terroirs of the lower, middle, and upper slopes. Each label is judiciously adorned with a color that reflects the intensity and complexity of the wine: from bright red for the Peu Muleau to deep purple for the Grand-Mont. These absolute references in Bourgueil highlight the fine, cool austerity of Cabernet Franc, cloaked in a magnificent smooth texture. Let's salute the bottle aging in the tuffeau cellars before they are released for sale.
