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

Vincent Hayer, the estate's operations manager for almost 20 years, became the manager of the property in 2020, a former Château de Troussay clos, 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...
