Reuilly

3.7/5View all 205 reviews

Adjacent to the Quincy appellation, located in Central Loire, Reuilly covers a small area of about 180 hectares on the hillsides bordering the banks of the Arnon, a tributary of the Cher. The wines are fruity, light, and delightful. For the whites, there is Sauvignon, with a dry and fruity profile; for the rosés, Pinot Gris, with a delicate profile; and for the reds, Pinot Noir, with a fruity and charming profile.

Although they share common characteristics, Reuilly wines differ depending on the winemaker's style.

Discover the Reuilly appellation

Located in Berry, the vineyards of the Reuilly appellation are spread across the Indre and Cher departments. They are part of the Centre-Val de Loire wine region. Granted AOC status in 1937 for white wine and in 1961 for red and rosé, the Reuilly vineyards have existed since ancient times, but their reputation truly began to grow during the reign of King Dagobert.

The vineyard, which covers sun-drenched hillsides, overlooks the Arnon and Théols rivers. Its location on high terraces and moderate slopes gives it a sandy-gravelly, clay-limestone soil composition. Sauvignon, the primary grape variety, produces a dry, fruity white wine, while the red wines are made from Pinot Noir and the rosés are made from Pinot Gris alone or a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

Discover the Flavor of Reuilly

The Whites

White Reuilly is emblematic of Loire Valley wines. Made from the Sauvignon grape variety, it is known for its flavor profile and fairly pronounced acidity. Fruity, light, and dry, it can be cellared for 1 to 4 years from the vintage year. It is best enjoyed at a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees. Lovers of crisp wines will appreciate its floral and herbal notes, accented by a touch of minerality.

Red wines

These red wines, distinguished by their ruby color and fruity aromas, are supple, silky, and light, and can be cellared for about 2 years. They are best served at a temperature between 13 and 16 degrees. Some, aged in oak barrels, have a more pronounced character and can be cellared for about 5 years.

Rosé Wines

Reuilly rosé wine, made from Pinot Gris, has a pale pink color. Its fruity notes of white peach and apricot captivate the palate from the very first sip. It is best enjoyed at a temperature of 10 to 12 degrees and ages very well for up to 5 years.

Discover the pairings for Reuilly

White wine pairs well with cold appetizers, shellfish, fish, and white meats. But its best match is with goat cheese, particularly the famous Crottin de Chavignol, which is produced exclusively in Reuilly.

Red wines, with their full-bodied character, pair well with saucy dishes and roasted poultry. But they also go well with grilled meats and sauerkraut.

It is the rosés that stand out for their originality. Pairing them with exotic cuisine and spicy dishes will yield surprising combinations. When very young, Reuilly rosés are excellent as an aperitif. If you let them age for a few years, they will become remarkable wines to pair with desserts.
