Domaine Tessier, Cour-Cheverny 2021

In the top part of Cheverny, Cour Cheverny, Romarintin grapes are grown. The varietal is related to Chardonnay and tastes like Chablis and is scarcely grown in any other part of France, or the world. Tessier ages his Romarintin in a mixture of amphora and old oak barrels. The wine gives zippy and refreshing energy with the flavour of apricots, pears, smoke and stone. The Cour Cheverny blanc pairs well with salt baked fish or celeriac.
