organic & good

instant gratification

This Cheverny is a supple, silky red with a light ruby color, offering a fragrant nose of morello cherry. The supple, silky, and fresh palate highlights the terroir and all its elegance. The present tannins support the fruit and lend a lovely length to the finish. Freshness and roundness define this highly successful vintage. Enjoy it with charcuterie while hanging out with friends!

About the estate:

Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate’s operations director for nearly 20 years, took over management of the property in 2020—a former vineyard of Château de Troussay that has been certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2015.
