A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay, as is permitted in the Cheverney appellation, this wine exhibits a supple texture along with crisp, fresh fruit flavors that resemble citrus fruits with a hint of green herbs. A fine value, it feels richer on the palate than pure Sauvignons from Sancerre or Pouilly, so arguably will prove more versatile at the table.
