2015 Domaine de la Chevalerie Bourgueil "Breteche"
🍇 Grape Varieties: 100% Cabernet Franc
🍷 Tasting Notes: a classic representation of Cabernet Franc. It offers brooding dark fruit flavors such as blackcurrant and cherry, along with red currant. Earthy notes, smoked red pepper, and a hint of leather complement the fruit, creating a complex and layered profile. The palate is supported by chalky, crunchy textures with bitter and smoky nuances, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
• Anecdotes and History: Domaine de la Chevalerie, managed by the Caslot family since 1640, is renowned for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate spans 38 hectares in the commune of Restigné.
