Touraine AOC at the gates of the Château de Cheverny (Loir-et-Cher, 1993): signature Sauvignon Blanc white king (60-80%) blended with Chardonnay, Arbois or Pineau — lively and fine with notes of blackcurrant, liquorice, citrus and chiselled elegance. Signature Pinot Noir and Gamay red kings — a Burgundy-Beaujolais hybrid profile with cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and a peppery touch, fresh and crunchy, low tannins, fine acidity. Blending mandatory.
Dry, vivid and structured whites with a golden robe, taut mouthfeel and sharp acidity, with aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), apple, pear, white flowers, honey and pronounced chalky mineral notes. Good ageing potential, gaining wax and dried fruit notes with age. Near-exclusive star of Cour-Cheverny AOC in the Sologne. Very rare autochthonous Loire variety, introduced to the Loire valley by François I in 1519 according to tradition.
red wines from the region of Cheverny go well with generally quite well with dishes of veal, game (deer, venison) or poultry such as recipes of veal paupiettes with cider, wild boar with honey or royal couscous (lamb, chicken, merguez).
