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.
Powerful, structured reds with an almost black inky robe, firm tannins and preserved acidity, with intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, violet, cocoa, spice and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Absolute star of Cahors AOC on the Lot terraces, where it is called Auxerrois (minimum 70% in blends), and a global conqueror as Malbec in Argentina (Mendoza). Also found in Touraine (Côt de Loire) and the South-West. Autochthonous French variety from Quercy.
