Cour-Cheverny

Cour-Cheverny is a Loire Valley appellation that produces superb white wines from Romorantin, a relatively unknown French grape grown specifically in this location. These lively white wines have a distinct mineral backbone, yet their ultimate character can range from dry to off-dry.

Cour-Cheverny wines are best consumed within two years of vintage since they are fresh and lightly aromatic. Their color can range from yellow to golden, and the aromas they emit are typically apple, appear, or acacia. The wines of Cour-Cheverny may be appreciated early, but they also age well, developing citrusy, waxy, and honey-like flavors. Appetizers, charcuterie, seafood, and asparagus go well with young wines, while lobster and foie gras go well with aged styles.
