Wine Description:
Hervé Villemade Cheverny Rouge is a captivating red wine that reflects the mastery of its producer, Hervé Villemade. From Cheverny in the Loire Valley, France, this wine is a blend of 60% Gamay and 40% Pinot Noir. The vines, aged between 12 and 39 years, thrive in an agile-sandy soil rich in flint, imparting a unique character to the grapes. The meticulous winemaking involves manual harvesting, a 15-day maceration period, and aging in wooden tanks without chaptalization. The result is a wine that beautifully balances Gamay's lively freshness and red fruit notes with Pinot Noir's silky texture and licorice undertones. This harmonious blend creates a red wine that is both indulgent and precise, with a nuanced finish of plum, black cherry, and occasional spice, consistently delivering a refreshing experience vintage after vintage.
