For over 13 generations, the Caslot family has cultivated the exceptional terroirs of the Loire Valley, crafting wines that reflect centuries of dedication and expertise. Since 1640, their 33-hectare organic estate in Bourgueil has been a hub of sustainable viticulture and winemaking. Their cellars, carved from limestone between the 11th and 13th centuries, are awe-inspiring—a vast, cathedral-like space that provides the perfect environment for aging wine. At the heart of their range is the ‘Franco de Porc’, a 100% Cabernet Franc crafted from gravelly, sandy, and clay soils surrounding their domain in the Touraine region.
‘Franco de Porc’ is a vibrant and expressive wine that celebrates the Loire Valley’s rich biodiversity and winemaking heritage. Bursting with juicy red fruits, sweet red pepper, and earthy, peppery undertones, it delivers both intensity and balance. The fresh acidity of the wine makes it wonderfully versatile, whether you’re pairing it with a hearty meal or enjoying it as a standalone delight. Crafted from 25-year-old vines, it encapsulates the vitality and complexity that Cabernet Franc can achieve in the Bourgueil terroir.
This wine is more than just a drink—it’s a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and nature’s bounty. Whether you’re drawn to its rich flavors or its sustainable roots, Domaine de la Chevalerie ‘Franco de Porc’ Bourgueil is a wine that stands out. Perfectly suited for food pairings or casual sipping, it’s available now from select wine shops and online retailers. Bring home a bottle and experience the Loire Valley’s winemaking tradition in every sip.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
