DOMAINE TESSIER CHEVERNY RED WINE FRANCE 2023
The 2023 Cheverny Rouge from Domaine Philippe Tessier is a harmonious field blend: predominantly Pinot Noir and Gamay, with a subtle proportion of Côt (Malbec) for depth and spice. The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Cour-Cheverny, where flinty, sandy-clay soils help retain freshness and aromatic clarity. Indigenous yeast fermentation and gentle, low-intervention vinification—including partial whole-cluster maceration and aging in older neutral barrels—preserve purity and nuance.
Aromatically, it’s lifted and expressive, with notes of tart cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and a gentle earthiness. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied but structured, with energetic acidity and fine tannins that give a sense of grip without heaviness. It’s an ideal match for charcuterie, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or soft-rind cheeses. Best enjoyed slightly chilled.
