Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
Guide Hachette des vins

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 ha divided between Cour-Cheverny and Cheverny, with very old Sauvignon vines in particular.

Let's watch the transition...
