Domaine des Huards, a family-owned estate since 1846, is renowned for its dedication to biodynamic viticulture and the cultivation of the rare Romorantin grape. The 'Romo' cuvée from the 2019 vintage exemplifies the unique character of the Cour-Cheverny appellation, offering a distinctive and terroir-driven expression of this historic varietal.
- WINEMAKER: Jérôme and Michel Gendrier
- FARMING: Certified biodynamic practices
- VARIETY: 100% Romorantin
- TERROIR: Sourced from vineyards in the Cour-Cheverny appellation, characterized by clay and limestone soils that contribute to the wine's minerality and structure. The Romorantin vines, some over a century old, are meticulously tended to ensure low yields and high-quality fruit.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and expression of the Romorantin grape.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity before bottling.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale gold in color with a luminous clarity. The nose reveals a pure and balanced bouquet with mineral notes, citrus fruits, and a touch of honey. On the palate, it offers harmony between vigorous strength and subtle softness, with a persistent finish rich in freshness.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood dishes, goat cheese, and light poultry preparations.
