This white wine comes from old vines grown in silica- and clay-rich soils with a limestone subsoil. After meticulous hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. It is then vinified and aged for ten months in demi-muids and barrels, its natural character reflected in its certified labels. This dry wine is distinguished by its complexity and its potential to develop further over the next ten years.

Our opinion on the vintage
Domaine Tessier
In Cheverny, Domaine Tessier, run by Philippe Tessier, consistently cultivates the region's emblematic grape varieties: Romorantin, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gamay. The vineyard is managed organically, with particular attention paid to the quality of the raw materials and the balance of the soils.
The winemaking process follows a natural, minimal-intervention approach, aiming to preserve the clarity of the fruit and the precision of the balance. The white wines favor vertical and taut profiles, driven by consistent acidity and a clear expression of the grape varieties. The reds, on the other hand, are distinguished by their freshness and a very fluid texture, achieved through judicious extraction.
All the wines are characterized by great clarity and a marked stylistic consistency. The estate offers a luminous and precise expression of Cheverny, now recognized as an essential benchmark of the appellation.
