Domaine de la Chevalerie - Diptyque 2017
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).
Diptyque is made from Cabernet Franc. After manual harvest, the grapes macerate at a gentle temperature for around twenty days. The wine is aged in concrete tanks for 4 to 6 months.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
