About Domaine de la Chevalerie
Domaine de la Chevalerie, a renowned winery in Bourgueil, France, has been producing exceptional wines for 14 generations. This family-owned estate spans over 80 acres of prime vineyard land in the Loire Valley. The Caslot family, who have owned and operated the Domaine since 1640, practice organic and biodynamic viticulture. Their vineyards are planted with Cabernet Franc, the predominant grape variety in Bourgueil, and are known for their old vines, some of which are over 70 years old.
The wines of Domaine de la Chevalerie are renowned for their elegance, structure, and complexity. They offer a diverse range of cuvées, from lighter, fruit-forward expressions to robust, age-worthy selections. The Domaine's greatest asset lies in its exceptional and varied terroirs. By crafting wines from various lieux-dits (specific vineyard sites), each bottle beautifully showcases the distinct characteristics of its origin.
Why We Love Domaine de la Chevalerie
Each wine highlights a distinct vineyard site, with the varying soils imparting unique flavors and aromas. We relish the opportunity to experience the differences between these wines and to learn about the Bourgueil terroir in such detail. Crafted to the highest standards, we have imported wines that can be aged for years and some that have already matured in the Domaine’s cellar. These are truly special wines, and we are proud to import them.
