“A dazzling vineyard! Splendid, according to RVF”

“Chevalerie 2019 is one of Bourgueil’s most resplendent expressions. A ripe, refined, and intense bouquet gives way to a magnificent velvety palate, with a sensation of chalky caresses on the tongue, leading to an admirable depth that will allow it to age serenely over the coming decades. Splendid! We are more moved than ever by these wines of unforgettable sincerity” (Le Guide RVF 2024).

About the wine:

Chevalerie 2019 is one of Bourgueil’s most resplendent expressions. A ripe, refined, and intense bouquet gives way to a magnificent velvety palate, with a sensation of chalky caresses on the tongue, leading to a remarkable depth that will allow it to age gracefully over the coming decades. Splendid! We are more moved than ever by these wines of unforgettable sincerity.

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.
