Robert Parker
This small Loire Valley appellation produces a pale yellow, slightly brilliant white wine with a complex, aromatic nose of acacia and primary Sauvignon aromas. The attack on the palate is round, frank and generous, with notes of dried fruit and a supple, balanced and persistent finish... It has everything to please!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2017) 15/20 (Vintage 2015) (Very good wine)
Domain rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2024) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Vincent Hayer, the estate's operations manager for almost 20 years, became the manager of the property in 2020, a former clos du Château de Troussay, converted to organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2015. Owned by the highly committed Chevrier family, the estate comprises 30 hectares divided between Cour-Cheverny and Cheverny, with very old Sauvignon vines in particular.

About the domain :
With the departure of Italian Laura Semeria, a new page is turned at Domaine de Montcy. [...] a family of investors from Orléans to lead the future of this biodynamically farmed estate in Cheverny. The wines presented here preserve the sincerity of their substance and aromas, without showing off, respecting the breeding and identity of Sauvignon and Chardonnay for the whites, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for the reds. Let's watch the transition...
