Rating: Gault Millau 17/20, RVF 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20
“A restrained nose with aromas of ripe fruit and orange zest, along with floral and spicy notes. Beautiful concentration on the palate, with roundness and fruit, in a lovely balance with freshness. This cuvée, which offers an intense and lingering finish with minty flavors, displays a beautiful tannic structure.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)

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 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.
