Herve Villemade Cheverny Rouge 2024

Loire's Cheverny appellation rarely grabs headlines—until you taste Hervé Villemade's 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Gamay blend. Whole-cluster fermented in concrete for 15 days, then aged nine months with minimal sulfur, this organic wine captures juicy raspberry and kirsch balanced by earthy undergrowth and forest-floor nuance. Pair it with white meats, oily fish, or mushroom dishes—it thrives everywhere.
