The vines are around 35 years old, and farmed biodynamically. The maceration lasts less than 20 days. Aging is done in a mix of tank and large used barrels with less and less oak. This is the earliest drinking single-vineyard cuvée, always on the raspberry and wild violet with very supple tannins, but you can keep it for 10 years without a problem. Peu Muleau is always more linear than Les Galichets - it does not have the same clay-gravel flesh, dancing on its feet with great elegance. The 2015 shows a bright red color and aromas that are more earth than fruit with subtle raspberry, strawberry, citrus and spice. The palate is a lovely blend of earth and red fruits, fairly tight but quite elegant with firm acidity and mineral flavors blending with raspberry and violet in the finish. Warning - not a fruit bomb and best suited to those who like some rocks in their wine. Drinking beautifully now. -\u003cem\u003eDavid Lillie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zev Rovine Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588898779361,"sku":"261517","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/Chevalerie2015PeuMuleau-FB.jpg?v=1728503241"},{"product_id":"chevalerie-18-bourgeuil-chevalerie","title":"Chevalerie 2018 Bourgueil Cuvee Chevalerie","description":"\u003cp\u003e The \"home\" vineyard produced a superb wine in 2019, perhaps les dense and dark than the Busardières, but more expressive of the very old vines and the limestone below and beatifully balanced. La Chevalerie, between the Galichets and the winery, is slightly higher on the slope, with more clay on the top part. The Turonian tuffeau is not even three feet below. The oldest vines date from 1903 and 1922, the average being 75 years. The sandier part of the plot goes into the Galichets. This cuvée is a perfect introduction to the more “serious” tuffeau driven bottlings of the domaine.  It's a bit easier when young than Busardieres - you get the flesh and texture brought by the sand, you also pick up the racy, salty and fresh acidity typical of the tuffeau. The fruit is a nice mix of red berries and black plum and cherry, with Chinese badiane and coriander seed, finishing with a great mix of salt, smoke and leather. The Caslots have farmed this parcel since 1640! The 2019 will be great fun to enjoy in its youthful intensity, but best to wait 3 to 5 years then drink until 2040.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zev Rovine Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588930662625,"sku":"20055","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"chevalerie-19-noms-doiseaux","title":"Chevalerie 2019 Bourgueil Noms D'Oiseaux","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new Chevalerie cuvée \"Noms D'Oiseaux\" is from two parcels symbolic of the domain, each situated at the two extremities of the slope overlooking the Loire. “Nom d’Oiseaux” to warn of the urgent need to respect our biodiversity, not just false pretences but through real actions. At any rate, the 2019 is a subtle and intriguing Bourgueil showing a bright deep black\/red\/garnet color with fresh aromas of black raspberry, ripe cherry, violet, tobacco, citrus and earth. On the palate there is firm acidity and and a sapid, chalky texture with ripe black raspberry and strawberry fruit with earth, licorice, stone and spice notes. The fruit shows layers of complexity with aeration, the finish is long and sapid with red fruits and earth lingering on the palate.

On the southwestern exposed upper part of the mid-slope, the vines are planted on a meter-deep heavier clay with high mica content above the Turonian yellow tuffeau. The vines, biodynamically farmed are between 25 to 55 years old. 2015 was an easier, more mastered vintage for the Caslot siblings, as the growing season was never extreme, and the harvests were peaceful. A little more concentrated than the 2014, especially in acidity, this a great vintage for the Domaine! Bretêche 15 is still a baby! Purple in the glass, the wine as usual has more freshness, tension and a little austerity. This is even more apparent here. The nose is a little restrained, showing progressively a lot of black and red currant and cranberry, hibiscus tea and black cardamom. In the palate, it is a superbly balanced wine, with some chiseled tannins enhanced by the lingering acidity. There is less flesh than other cuvées, and the texture is sleeker  but absolutely charming and vibrant - and could please any Burgundy lover. You will pick up more herbal notes in the palate : tobacco, beet juice, pink peppercorn. A great bottle to keep 10 years and plus, as it is built to age!  To serve it now, decant it a good hour at least or enjoy it over multiple days. 100% Cabernet Franc. -\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePascaline Lepeltier \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(2022)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zev Rovine Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947119669473,"sku":"3613042664627","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/Chevalerie2015Breteche-FB.jpg?v=1725555932"},{"product_id":"chevalerie-2020-franco-de-porc","title":"Chevalerie 2020 Bourgueil Diptyque (Franco de Porc)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chevalerie Bourgueil Diptyque\/Franco de Porc is from vines located on 1 to 2 meters deep sand and gravel intermixed with clay soils on an old alluvial terrace close to the Loire, at the foot of the coteau.

If you don’t believe cabernet franc can be delicious, juicy, savoury yet fruity, just try this wine! The 2020 \"Franco de Porc\" (a play on words in numerous ways) shows a deep black\/red color with aromas of forest floor, black cherry liqueur, black raspberry, bitter chocolate and licorice with bright hints of herbs and citrus peel. The palate is bright, sapid and supple wth dense flavors of earth, black fruits, anise, cocoa and chalky minerals - very similar to the very ripe 2018 version, but a bit less forward.  Even if it is the vin de soif, you can drink it over a couple of days - it will only get better!
