Hervé Villemade Cheverny 2019

A lesser-known Loire appellation, Cheverny offers the advantage of being able to feature, in addition to Chenin, the popular Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grapes. The two latter make up this remarkably pure cuvée, to which little sulphur was added during bottling. The seductive attack, fresh and thirst-quenching, is marked by slight fizz, making it even more tonic.  To our great delight, it reveals scents that marry maturity and minerality, in an ensemble recalling white-fleshed fruit, citrus and honey.
