Cheverny Red Old Vines 2020, Domaine Sauger

A family estate since 1870, Domaine Sauger has been passed down from father to son within the Cheverny appellation, producing both red and white wines.
The grape varieties showcased are Sauvignon blended with the elegance of Chardonnay for the white wines, and the freshness of Gamay accompanied by the subtlety of Pinot Noir for the reds (Côt and Cabernet Franc).

The practice of systematic partial grass cover in the vineyards, the reasoned use of treatment products, and the control of yields ensure the production of top-quality grapes which, when harvested at maturity, produce Cheverny wines recognized for their multiple expressions and flavors.

Off-topic and as a bit of trivia, the famous Château de Cheverny served as the inspiration for Marlinspike Hall in The Adventures of Tintin comic books.
