About the Winery
Domaine de Veilloux is one of the most compelling, authentic, and inspiring addresses in Cheverny. Matthieu Arcourt's arrival has brought vibrant new momentum while upholding Michel Quenioux’s pioneering biodynamic legacy with tremendous finesse and respect. We adore Les Voyous for its irresistible conviviality and crunchy, mouthwatering fruit, making it the perfect bottle for relaxed bistronomy, garden gatherings, and artisan charcuterie boards. For collectors and lovers of serious gastronomy, the old-vine cuvée Les Veilleurs and the Cour-Cheverny Romorantin deliver exceptional layered complexity, marrying orchard fruit, wild herbs, and gunflint minerality with a lingering saline finish that evolves magnificently over years of bottle age. The red cuvées impress equally with silky tannins, wild berry freshness, and effortless digestibility. A domain of immense integrity, generous hospitality, and authentic soul that we recommend wholeheartedly to any Loire wine explorer.
Visiting the Winery
Featured Wines
The wines of Domaine de Veilloux stand out for their luminous freshness, supple texture, and uncompromised purity. The joyful cuvée Les Voyous enchants with immediate fruit vibrancy, offered in both energetic white and juicy red expressions. The flagship Domaine de Veilloux cuvée, carefully matured in barrels and tanks, reflects the quintessential balance of Cheverny through classic blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Menu Pineau for whites, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for reds. High-altitude parcel selections Les Veilleurs and Argilo showcase the profound gastronomic depth of old vines, accompanied by a crystalline Cour-Cheverny Romorantin that displays sumptuous texture, savory minerality, and thrilling vitality.
