RVF
"A beautiful white wine typical of the region, showcasing the little-known Romorantin grape variety."
"A bouquet of gentian roots, finely austere but with a relaxed approach on the palate, leading to more fruit. Solar power channeled by beautiful bitter notes. Already in great shape, it should evolve quietly over the next few years. A sapid finish, full of depth." (La RVF Revue, April 2023)

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 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. The wines presented retain their sincerity of substance and aromas, without pretension. They respect the aging and identity of Sauvignon and Chardonnay for the whites, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for the reds. Let's observe the transition...

Wine rated (2023 guide) 16,5/20
About wine:
I can't think of any other way to describe this wine than rock salt and crushed black pepper. It's crisp, fiercely salty, and decidedly unfruity. Austere, but with a powerful character. Bring on the fish and chips!

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Peach, apricot, dried herbs, lemon peel, and spices on the nose, with medium body and fresh acidity. Well-balanced and creamy on the edges, with a relatively lean mid-palate and a mineral finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes certified by Demeter. Ready to drink now.
