Philippe Tessier 'Charbonnerie' Cheverny White 2022 Loire Valley, France

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Orbois

Loire Valley, France

La Charbonnerie is the top Cheverny blanc from Philippe and now Simon Tessier, made with the oldest Sauvignon and Chardonnay from the estate, planted by Philippe's father in the 1960s, it is in a way a single-vineyard. Like all the wines of the domain, the grapes are hand-harvested, pressed and fermented with spontaneous yeasts, malo is done and aging is quite short, happening in stainless steel tank.
