Domaine de la Chevalerie has a long, rich family history, which began about 400 years ago in Restigné (located in the Loire Valley and the Bourgueil appellation). The vineyard has been passed through 13 generations. Stephanie Caslot sadly passed away last year but the domaine is still run by her two siblings Laurie and Emmanuel Caslot. 

The siblings work together to create wines representing their love and respect for nature.

Though the vineyard grows many grape varietals, it is best known for its Cabernet Franc vines, which are about 30 to 70 years old on average. In the cellar, Domaine de la Chevalerie focuses on natural fermentation with native yeasts present on the grapes, and bare minimum sulfating. With all these sustainable practices, the vineyard has been certified organic since 2008 and biodynamic since 2012.

Domaine de la Chevalerie is committed to techniques that support regenerative and sustainable farming. Their preparation of phytotherapy (herbal teas) minimizes sulfur and copper treatment, and their use of biodynamic compost allows the soil to develop gradually in a balanced way. These practices allow for honest, and delicious wines.
