Product Description
Region : Located between the Loire and Sologne, Cheverny has a semi-oceanic climate, slightly more continental than the Loire Valley and Touraine.
The soil consists of a limestone base made of Miocene limestones covered by sands and marl.
On the surface, the soils are more varied. The clay-limestone plots are particularly suited to Pinot Black and Romorantin. The silty clay soils are suitable for Gamay. This mix brings a nice complexity to the wines of the appellation.
