Bourgueil Grand-Mont Domaine de la Chevalerie 2016

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.

This cuvée is aged for six months in demi-muid barrels. It expresses intensely ripe aromas on the nose while the palate offers power, freshness, and impressive persistence. The ideal accompaniment to juicy red meat dishes.
