"A beautiful white wine typical of the region, featuring the confidential Romorantin grape variety".

"Bouquet of gentian roots, finely austere but with a relaxed approach on the palate towards more fruit. A solar power channeled by beautiful bitters. Already in great shape, it should evolve quietly over the next few years. Sapid, full-bodied finish". (La RVF Revue April 2023)

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

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning 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 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.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

Bouquet of gentian roots, finely austere but with a relaxed approach on the palate towards more fruit. Solar power channeled by beautiful bitters. Already in great shape, it should evolve quietly over the next few years. Sapid, full-bodied finish.

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...

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (guide 2023) 16.5/20

About the wine:

I can't think of any other way to describe this wine than rock salt and cracked black pepper. It's crisp, fiercely saline, resolutely unfruited. Austere, but with a powerful character. Bring on the fish and French fries!

James Suckling

Rated wine (guide 2023) 90/100

About the wine:

Peach, apricot, dried herbs, lemon peel and spice on the nose, with medium body and fresh acidity. Well-balanced and creamy on the periphery, with a relatively lean mid-palate and mineral finish. Made from Demeter-certified biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now.
