About the estate:

Vincent Hayer, who served as the estate's operations manager for nearly 20 years, became the property manager in 2020.

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.
