Dark red color with purple reflections. Fruity nose with aromas of black fruits and flowers. Round and full attack with a nice tannic structure. Aromas of bilberry and violet followed by a fruity finale with great length.

Home to some of the best values in wine, the Loire Valley is also home to some of our favorite grapes, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Try one of these great wines from an underappreciated region.
100% Romorantin. Cazin's
Cour-Cheverny Cuvée Renaissance is made only in certain vintages, when the conditions are right for healthy fruit to be harvested quite late, from the estate's oldest vines (40 to 90 years). The bunches are hand-harvested and pressed directly; the must is fermented in a stainless steel tank with native yeasts. The wine is aged on its lees in used 300-liter barrels; it is bottled by gravity without filtration a year after the harvest. There is always some residual sugar, varying with the vintage (30 g/l in 2018), balanced beautifully with Romorantin's naturally high acidity. "Le Petit Chambord" (on every Cazin label) is the historical name of the family property.

Bright yellow straw. Fresh cornucopian aromas of lemon, peach, and golden delicious apple marry well with soft yeasty and rich mineral notes. This crisp, flavorful, off-dry Vouvray balances a soft, creamy mouthfeel with refreshing acidity and deep, chalky minerals.
