About this product
La Chevalerie's Galichets is Bourgueil from its purest gravel terroir: 60+ year old Cabernet Franc vines on deep alluvial gravel producing wine of mineral elegance and freshness. Medium ruby with blackcurrant leaf, violet, graphite, and a distinctive mineral salinity from the gravel soils. The wine is more structured than Loire's sandy-soil expressions — firm, vibrant, and age-worthy over 8-12 years. One of Bourgueil's finest.
Pairing intelligence
complement
La Chevalerie Galichets' blackcurrant leaf and mineral freshness achieves the Loire's archetypal charcuterie pairing with duck terrine — the Cabernet Franc's structured acidity cuts through the terrine's richness while the graphite mineral echoes the pistachio's green herb note. Cornichons amplify the wine's freshness. A Loire bistrot pairing elevated by Bourgueil's most structured gravel cuvée.

complement
La Chevalerie Galichets' firm Cabernet Franc structure and herbal mineral character achieves excellent harmony with classic French rabbit in mustard sauce — the wine's blackcurrant freshness cuts through the cream-mustard richness; tarragon bridges the Cabernet Franc's herbal dimension; gratin dauphinoise provides the rich starchy base the wine's acidity requires. A Loire valley pairing of complete regional identity.
