This Gamay is hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality berries. Whole-cluster harvesting and malolactic fermentation lend the wine a pleasant roundness. Aged in oak for 10 months, it develops a rich aromatic profile, giving it an elegant and balanced structure. Grown on siliceous-clay soil, this wine offers a pure expression of its terroir while adhering to gentle winemaking practices, with very low sulfite levels.

Domaine Tessier
In Cheverny, Domaine Tessier, led by Philippe Tessier, consistently cultivates the region's emblematic grape varieties: Romorantin, Sauvignon, and Gamay. The vineyard is managed using organic farming practices, with particular attention paid to the quality of the raw material and soil balance.
The winemaking process follows a natural, low-intervention approach, aiming to preserve fruit clarity and precise balance. The white wines favor vertical and taut profiles, driven by consistent acidity and a clear expression of the grape varieties. The reds, meanwhile, are distinguished by their freshness and a very fluid texture, built upon measured extractions.
All the cuvées are characterized by great legibility and marked stylistic coherence. The estate offers a luminous and precise interpretation of Cheverny, now recognized as an essential benchmark for the appellation.
