Description

This wine comes from the estate's two oldest Romorantin vineyards .It is fermented in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats and aged in stainless steel and fiberglass on the lees. Powerful, racy aromatics coupled with richness akin to polished white stones, sea salt and dried white nectarine—if drinking now, decant and serve with poached chicken, swordfish and decadent cheeses; will also cellar well for another five years.

Herve Villemade has been working his family's vines in Cellettes since taking over from his father in 1995. Today, the estate represents about 22 hectares of organically farmed fruit within the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny AOCs, along with a negociant license to supplement production with local grapes.

Herve Villemade

Hervé Villemade is a respected winemaker based in the Loire Valley, France, known for his commitment to organic and natural winemaking. Located in the Cheverny appellation, Hervé took over his family’s estate in the late 1990s and has since transformed it into one of the leading producers of natural wines in the region.
The estate spans approximately 25 hectares, with vineyards planted to a mix of local varietals, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Gamay. Hervé Villemade practices organic farming, having converted the estate in 2000, and follows biodynamic principles to maintain the health and vitality of his vineyards. His approach in both the vineyard and the cellar is centred on minimal intervention, allowing the terroir and the vintage to express themselves fully in the wines.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley in France is a prestigious wine region renowned for its diverse wines and picturesque landscapes. Stretching along the Loire River, it benefits from a varied climate and a range of soil types, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its white wines, including the crisp and mineral-rich Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the aromatic Chenin Blanc from Vouvray and Saumur. The area also produces excellent reds, such as the light and fruity Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Bourgueil. Rosé and sparkling wines, like Crémant de Loire, add to the diversity of the region. With its rich winemaking heritage, varied terroirs, and high-quality wines, the Loire Valley offers an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts seeking both classic and innovative wines.
