"The elegance of Pinot Noir, the fruitiness of Gamay, and the aromatic notes of Côt come together in this lovely bottle."

“Well-structured yet subtle, with delicate spice, supported by silky tannins and partial barrel aging that doesn’t mask the fruit, this ambitious red is sure to please. It is a worthy representative of the appellation, best suited for short-term aging and paired with a fine cut of beef.”(Le Guide Hachette 2023)

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Well-structured yet subtle, with delicate spice, supported by silky tannins and partial barrel aging that doesn’t mask the fruit, this ambitious red is sure to please. It’s a worthy representative of the appellation, best enjoyed after a short period of aging and paired with a fine cut of beef.

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.

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...

Wine rated (2023 guide) 17/20

About the wine:

A very unusual blend! But it really works. It’s bursting with juicy, fresh fruit that’s also slightly sweet. The soft, supple tannins are firm and well-balanced. The wine’s herbaceous character carries it toward a longer finish and gives it more depth than the fruit alone would suggest. It’s a trendy bar wine. I love this wine. Pair it with small plates.
