This wine presents a vibrant and fresh nose with hints of citrus fruits and white flowers, complemented by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced structure with crisp acidity, leading to a long, refreshing finish. The fruit flavors are both ripe and tangy, with a touch of herbal notes that add complexity. Overall, it’s a refined and elegant white wine that pairs wonderfully with seafood and light poultry dishes
Nose: Subtle and appealing with lightly herbal notes, melon rind, and citrus peel. There’s also a hint of yeasty, wheat beer character due to the wild yeast fermentation

This Appelation is only 128 acres in total and unusual to find. The grape, Romorantin, is an old Burgundian grape and now only grown here. A very unusual wine.
Domaine de Montcy is a relatively young wine estate located in the Cheverny appellation of the Loire Valley, France. The estate was founded by Laura Semeria, an Italian-born entrepreneur with a background in food science and multinational food companies. She and her French husband, Léonard, settled near the Loire River and purchased the estate in the early 2000s.
The estate focuses on sustainable and organic viticulture, with all vineyards certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2015. The winemaker, Vincent Bonnal, advocates for minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winemaking process. The estate produces a range of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Gamay
Romorantin
Romorantin is an ancient white wine grape variety primarily grown in the Loire Valley of France, particularly in the Cour-Cheverny appellation. It was introduced to the region by King François I in the 16th century. Romorantin is a sibling of Chardonnay, sharing a common parent in the ancient Gouais Blanc grape.
Wines made from Romorantin are known for their intense minerality and can be reminiscent of Chablis. They often exhibit flavors of citrus, green apple, and sometimes tropical fruits, with a herbaceous undertone. The grape is versatile, producing both dry and sweet wines, including some botrytis-affected examples labeled as moelleux.

The Country
French wine, steeped in history and tradition, offers a rich tapestry of flavors and styles. Bordeaux’s iconic red blends—Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—create wines with structured tannins and notes of blackcurrant, plum, and cedar. Burgundy’s Pinot Noir and Chardonnay yield velvety reds and crisp whites. Champagne sparkles with toasty brioche and citrus. The Rhône Valley boasts bold Syrah, while Alsace’s Riesling and Gewürztraminer express floral aromas. From Provence’s pale rosés to Corsica’s sun-kissed Vermentino, each bottle tells a story. Santé!
