Cheverny 2023

The 2023 vintage in Cheverny is simply divine. Benefiting from favorable weather conditions—plenty of sunshine and moderate temperatures—grapes reached optimal ripeness. Early-harvested Sauvignons show striking aromatic intensity, with notes of citrus, blackcurrant bud, and a finely chiseled minerality, true to the appellation’s terroir.

On the palate, the balance is remarkable: vibrant acidity underscores a ripe, elegant texture, hinting at great aging potential.

Scoring 4.4 out of 5, this vintage embodies the excellence of the region and will delight both lovers of youthful whites and fans of cellaring-worthy wines.
