Domaine de la Chevalerie - La Chevalerie 2015
Domaine de la Chevalerie is located in Restigné, in the Bourgueil appellation, in the Loire Valley. La Chevalerie is a long family story, started almost 400 years ago. From this line of winemakers, the family inherited invaluable know-how and in-depth knowledge of each of the plots of the estate. Today the adventure continues with Pierre Caslot and his children, two generations united to exploit this 38-hectare estate and perpetuate the family tradition. They cultivate Cabernet Franc vines, 30 to 70 years-old on average. Attentive to preserve the essential balance of the ecosystem, the Caslots work according to organic (certified since 2008) and biodynamic principles (certified since 2012).
La Chevalerie is made from old Cabernet Franc vines (75 years old). After manual harvesting, the grapes are vatted by gravity, without crushing. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged 8 months in demi-muids.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
