Connoisseur Wines
The wine of Cour-Cheverny appellation is dry, lively and characterized by a very big length in mouth. Pleasant in their youth, when it is tasted " on the fruit ", it is particularly capable of the ageing: its colour takes then golden reflections and its delicate flavors have notes of honey and locust tree. Cour-Cheverny wines can be also a medium sweet wine made from late-harvested grapes, after the first frosts.
In its youth, Cour-Cheverny served freshly (8-10 °) will pair with asparaguses, fishes, scallops and white meats. With the age, it will be ideal with young partridge, a lobster, even a beautiful slice of fried foie gras.
