"A small appellation in the Loire Valley that has everything going for it: a crisp, fresh, and fruity white wine."
This lovely fresh and silky white wine is the archetype of contemporary Cheverny. It has an aromatic nose with floral notes, is beautifully generous on the palate, and superbly balanced. Your ideal companion for an aperitif!

About the estate:
Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate's operations manager for nearly 20 years, became the property manager in 2020.

About the estate:
With the departure of Italian Laura Semeria, a new chapter begins at the Montcy estate.
