Notes from the featured 2014 vintage.
The Loire Valley is divided into 4 large sub-regions, the Central Vineyards in the east, Touraine further west, and Anjou-Samur and Nantais furthest west along the Atlantic Ocean. The Loire is France's longest river. It travels from the mountains of central France west to the Atlantic and through all four wine regions of the Loire Valley. The many tributaries of the Loire and the proximity to the coast impact the climate and soil of vineyards, producing a wide variation of types and styles of wine. Cheverney is located in the Touraine AC, within the sub-region of Touraine. Typical to the area, this blend has Gamay (35%), but also the less prevalent Pinot Noir (65%). The vines average 25 years and grow on sandy, loam and limestone soils that bank the river valleys of the Loire. Serve chilled to 8 degrees Celsius and enjoy over the next two years.
