Pascal Bellier 2024 Cheverny Blanc
Few wines have delivered over the years such a reliable expression of their type as Pascal’s workhorse Cheverny Blanc. It again offers simply incomparable value for such a precise, terroir-infused Sauvignon, whose Chardonnay component, unique in the Loire, serves to amplify rather than mute those familiar green tones.

The family vineyard is 20 years old on average, with old parcels and younger ones, regularly planted. |
Notes from the Producer: The vines are planted on limestone, with a mix of stone and sand. They are 20 years old on average and produce generally 40 hl/ha. Vinification is realised in thermoregulated stainless-steel tanks and aging takes place on lees until bottling.
Pale and bright golden yellow with green hues. Intense fruitiness with notes of citrus fruits and
exotic fruits associated with a hint of blackcurrant bud.
Dry mineral white wine releasing powerful aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit) and exotic fruits. The white owers notes bring a lovely roundness to the length in mouth associated with a nice menthol freshness in the final notes.
Ready to drink. Service temperature : 8 to 10°C with seafood, fish, fresh starters and goat cheese.
