"A small appellation in the Loire Valley that has it all: a crisp, fresh, and fruity white wine"

“A quintessential example of a contemporary Cheverny—mature in its citrus aromas yet vibrant on the palate. Its frank expression is incredibly mouthwatering. A lovely white wine for spring and summer. Beautiful bitter notes lend vitality to the finish.” (La Revue du Vin de France, July/August 2024)

About the estate:

Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate’s operations director for nearly 20 years, became the estate manager in 2020. The estate—a former vineyard of Château de Troussay—has been certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2015. Owned by the deeply committed Chevrier family, the estate spans 30 hectares divided between Cour-Cheverny and Cheverny, featuring notably very old Sauvignon vines.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

A quintessential example of a contemporary Cheverny—mature in its citrus aromas yet vibrant on the palate. Its straightforward expression is incredibly mouthwatering. A lovely white wine for spring and summer. Beautiful bitter notes lend vitality to the finish.

About the estate:

With the departure of Italian Laura Semeria, a new chapter is beginning at the Montcy estate. [...] A family of investors from Orléans will steer the future of this biodynamically farmed property in Cheverny. The wines presented retain an authentic richness and aroma, without any pretension. They respect the aging process and the identity of the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay for the whites; and the Pinot Noir and Gamay for the reds. Let’s observe the transition...

About the wine:

I'm not usually a fan of blends of Sauvignon and Chardonnay. It rarely works out—the taste is usually that of a watered-down Sauvignon or a wasteful Chardonnay. But this little wine is simply a delight. It’s fresh, bursting with summer fruits and flowers; the acidity is lively and ripe, just round enough; and the finish has the freshness and sweetness of grass from a freshly mowed lawn. A perfect wine for a summer picnic.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

A lovely aroma of ripe apples, white peaches, wild herbs, and a hint of flowers. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Supple, with a lively mid-palate and a smooth finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes certified by Demeter.
