Cheverny blanc

White Cheverny wines are produced in the Loir-et-Cher region and are classified as AOC Cheverny. Cheverny is a red and white wine appellation in France's central Loire Valley wine region. In March 1993, it was upgraded from the VDQS level. Gamay and Pinot Noir are used to make the light, fresh Cheverny reds. Supporting roles for Cabernet Franc and Côt (the local name for Malbec) are possible. They should be drunk within two years of their vintage dates.

Sauvignon grapes are used to make the wines, which are commonly a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. They're commonly mixed with Chardonnay, but Chenin Blanc and Arbois are other allowed varietals (Orbois). The wines are pale yellow in color, with green accents in common. The scents are a mix of citrus and white fruit, with a hint of spice on occasion. They're usually light, fresh, well-balanced, and lively, and most are enjoyed young. Appetizers, seafood, and goat cheese go well with white Cheverny wines.
