Lecavalier Cellars To Open New Tasting Room May 22, 2024 - Sponsored Article
Placer County’s newest winery, Lecavalier Cellars, is opening its tasting room in Newcastle on May 22nd, just in time for the Memorial Day holiday. Conveniently located off I-80 and the Newcastle Road exit, the tasting room is easily accessible from the Greater Sacramento Region and will be open Wednesday to Sunday each week.
Lecavalier Cellars was founded by friends who share an enthusiasm for wine and a passion for innovation. The winery is on a mission to reimagine every aspect of how to create, deliver and enjoy wine.
“I have long had a passion for wine and wanted to
explore how you can marry science and art to create the truest expression of
the fruit,” said Co-founder Mike Fournier, a Granite Bay resident and former
aerospace engineer. “At the same time, I wanted to push the boundaries of
technology and innovation to create the most sustainable experience for those
who will enjoy our wines. The opening of our Lecavalier Cellars tasting room is
the first step on that journey.”
Visitors to Lecavalier Cellars will have a chance to taste wines sourced from some of California’s best vineyards as well as from its own estate vineyard in the Sierra Foothills. Each wine is intended to elevate the regions in which they are grown.
The wines are crafted by Winemaker Steve Leveque,
who has 25 years of luxury winemaking experience at some of the top estates in
the Napa Valley. Each wine is made in a state-of-the-art winery in Placer
County, where Mike and his team have re-designed most of the equipment to help
the winemaking team develop the truest expression of the fruit.
Visitors will also experience the patented, re-usable wine bottles created by Mike and his team. All of their packaged materials were created with the intention of either recycling or reusing. Their plan is to collect and accept all the packaging materials that are given to their customers upon sale. The only thing they don’t want back is the wine. Lecavalier has also created a sustainable local wine delivery system to its Sacramento area customers in electric vehicles. It plans to expand this service to other regions as it grows.
