"A beautiful white wine that’s typical of the region, showcasing the lesser-known Romorantin grape variety"

“A bouquet of gentian roots, subtly austere yet with a relaxed palate that evolves toward more fruit. A solar-like power channeled by lovely bitter notes. Already in excellent form, it should age gracefully over the next few years. A savory finish, full of depth.” (La RVF Revue, April 2023)

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 wine:

A bouquet of gentian roots, subtly austere yet with a relaxed palate that evolves toward more fruit. A solar-like intensity channeled by lovely bitter notes. Already in excellent form, it should age gracefully over the next few years. A savory finish, full of depth.

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) 16,5/20

About the 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 fries!

James Suckling

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

Aromas of peach, apricot, dried herbs, lemon zest, and spices, with medium body and fresh acidity. Well-balanced and creamy on the edges, with a relatively light mid-palate and a mineral finish. Made from biodynamically grown, Demeter-certified grapes. Ready to drink now.
