The 2021 vintage of Cour-Cheverny stands out as an “excellent” year despite significant climatic challenges. Spring frost and mildew greatly impacted yields, limiting production to about half the usual harvest on average. However, favorable late-season conditions allowed for excellent harvest timing, resulting in wines of remarkable balance and finesse. This vintage, lighter and less alcoholic than the more sun-drenched recent years, captivates with its freshness, delicate aromas, and pronounced elegance. Compared to other Loire appellations producing dry white wines, Cour-Cheverny distinguishes itself with exceptional quality. Its harmonious structure and precise aromatic profile make it an ideal choice for lovers of refined wines. A challenging year for winemakers, but one that promises great satisfaction for wine enthusiasts.
