Tessier Cheverny Blanc is 80% Sauvignon Blanc with 10 % each of Menu Pineau and Chardonnay from 5 to 50 year-old vines farmed organically since 1998 and made with minimal SO2 (17 gr/liter in 2024). Aromatically, there are a lot of textbook Sauv Blanc notes, but it is still far from the intensely grassy and tropical, lychee-driven aromatics of many a yeasted Sauvignon across the globe. The wine shows good ripeness in 2024, a bit brighter than the 2023 and is perfectly balanced at only 12.21% alcohol, and with refreshing acidity. What the Cheverny Blanc also has is a bit of texture. It's refreshing, but also broad in the mouth, evolving quite a bit as it's open. It's a wine that will disappear quickly thanks to it's crisp drinkability,
