2023 Francois Cazin Cheverny Rosé

Le Petit Chambord is a family-run winery handed down from father to son for four generations. Its 23 hectares of vineyards, nestled at the edge of the Cheverny forest, mark the gateway to the Sologne region, a historic hunting ground of French royalty. Recognized as an appellation in the early 1990s, Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny remain hidden gems in the Loire Valley. Certified HVE (High Environmental Value), François Cazin employs sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking methods. The area specializes in white wines, with Cour-Cheverny’s signature grape romorantin standing out for its unique character and aging potential, but don’t sleep on Cheverny’s reds! Pinot noir, gamay, and côt (malbec) are the three red grapes he farms, blended here as a mix of direct press and saignée for a delightful rosé. This wine’s fresh strawberry, rhubarb, and orange peel notes make it an easy pick for a casual meal.
