“A lively 2018 that avoids becoming overly rich from the sun. With crisp fruit and no pretensions, it’s ready to drink now.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) This small appellation in the Loire Valley produces a white wine with a pale yellow, slightly brilliant color and a complex, aromatic nose featuring hints of acacia and the primary aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is round, clean, and generous with notes of dried fruit, leading to a supple, balanced, and lingering finish. It has everything going for it!

About the estate:

Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate's operations manager for nearly 20 years, became the property manager in 2020. The estate, formerly part of Château de Troussay, converted to organic farming in 2012 and biodynamic farming in 2015. Owned by the highly committed Chevrier family, the estate covers 30 hectares divided between Cour-Cheverny and Cheverny, with some very old Sauvignon vines in particular.

About wine:

A lively 2018 that doesn't veer into excessive richness. With crisp fruit flavors and no pretensions, it's ready to drink now.

About the estate:

With the departure of Italian Laura Semeria, a new chapter begins at the Montcy estate. [...] a family of investors from Orléans to secure the future of this biodynamically farmed property in Cheverny.
