Tessier Ph. Cheverny Rouge

At the heart of the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny appellations of origin in the town of Cheverny itself, the 25-hectare family estate is located on the route to the Loire castles (Chambord, Cheverny, Blois, and Troussay).

Three types of soil stand out: silico-clay (Sologne sands), silico-clay-limestone and gravel on faluns (former marine sedimentation), all on limestone bedrock.

The young and vigorous vines are grassed. Elsewhere, the land is plowed and cultivated. Manual harvest in order to sort the grapes and maintain their integrity.

In the cellar, the team limits itself to monitoring the different phases of winemaking, without technical artifice. The grape varieties are vinified separately, without yeasting and with a minimum addition of sulfur.

Vineyard certified in Organic Agriculture since 1998
