About The Producer: The Chavet house has been present in Menetou-Salon since the 20th century. The estate today covers over 30 hectares, they offer a variety of different cuvees from their vineyards in the area consisting of plots with different soil types. The estate is committed to sustainable agriculture and only works with local varietals.
Impressions: While the Sauvignon Blanc’s of Menetou-Salon don’t hold as much star power as Sancerre, its unique terroir produces some amazing expressions as shown in Domaine Chavet et Fil’s 2022 cuvee. Aromas or Nasturtium, gooseberry, grass, and white peach hover above an elusive note of flint. On the palate balanced acidity dances towards a preferable lift leading to a dry and slightly refreshing finish. Try with an almond crusted trout, or a variety of full bloom rind goat cheeses.
