Cour-Cheverny 2023

The 2023 vintage from Cour-Cheverny stands out as a divine expression of Romorantin, showcasing balance, freshness, and striking varietal character. Following an unstable summer marked by a rainy July and a downy mildew outbreak in late July, growers had to be particularly attentive—especially with canopy management and fruit sorting. The turning point came with the scorching heat in early September, which pushed ripeness quickly, with temperatures reaching 35°C. This late warmth concentrated aromas and delivered beautiful acidity—especially vital for this unique grape. Compared to other Loire appellations producing dry whites, such as Muscadet or Sancerre, Cour-Cheverny 2023 shines through its aromatic complexity and length, without becoming overly rich. The result is a vintage of great elegance and typicity, rightfully earning a score of 4.4/5.
