A blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay from the Loire Valley, all from certified organic vines from legendary producer Hervé Villemade. This wine uses some of the estate’s youngest vines which were cultivated by Hervé himself. This expression of Cheverny Rouge was vinified in entirely concrete to preserve the freshness of the fruit and keep the wine juicy and bright.
- Hervé Villemade took over his father’s plot of vines in 1995, and everything was vinified conventionally at the time.
- He was uninspired by conventional winemaking, and developed a serious sulfur allergy in 1997. During the year 2000 he decided to convert his property over to organic viticulture.
- The vines of Pinot Noir and Gamay thrive in a mixture of sand, flint, clay and silex soils.
Vibes with:
- Grilled fish.
- Leveling up your red blend game.
