Domaine de la Chevalerie - Galichets 2011
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).
Galichets is made from Cabernet Franc. After manual harvesting, the bunches are sorted and then destemmed and the berries are sorted a second time. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts. Aging is carried out in foudres and old demi-muids. This 2011 vintage wine is ready to drink.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
