Domaine de la Chevalerie 'Peu Muleau' Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2018
Couldn't load pickup availability
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2018 Peu Muleau is a supple and gentle style that flows easily across the palate. Made from 40-year-old vines planted on sandy soils, it is suavely textured with the finest grain, offering up ripe raspberry fruit flavors and some tertiary, earthy notes. This is drinking well now-no need to wait." 89 Points - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: 40 year old vines at the top of the sunny slope overlooking Restigne, on aeolian sand to give pretty violet-scented wines for earlier drinking.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Domaine de la Chevalerie is a leading name in the Bourgueil appellation. The property lies in the commune of Restigné, directly beside Bourgueil, and has been owned by the Caslot family for 14 generations. It is currently run by Stéphanie and Emmanuel who took over the reins from their father Pierre. The 38 hectares of vineyard are certified organic and biodynamic. Winemaking is as low intervention and natural as possible, using indigenous yeasts during the gentle fermentation process, and keeping sulphites to a minimum. The wines are clean, deep, and very drinkable and cover the full spectrum from fruity, easy-drinking wines through to more complex and structured fine wines with good ageing potential. Real Wines
