Waxy and aromatic, but also electric and dry, this shows the wild and arresting possibilities of Romorantin, one of the less-encountered grapes of the Loire. Notes of flowers, citrus on the nose then orchard fruits, herbs and chalk on the palate, which builds with acidity towards the finish. Unique!

More about Francois Cazin

Joe Dressner found François Cazin at the Loire wine show in the early '90s and knew immediately he'd found something special. Nearly 30 years later, still working together. His Cheverny blend (70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Chardonnay) and his bottling of the rare local grape Romorantin are exactly what Loire tastes like when you get it right.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

100% Romorantin. Cour Cheverny has only existed as an AOC since 1997; François Cazin was instrumental in the drive to establish it to save this ancient local variety. The Cazin vines are planted on clay-limestone soils; some go all the way back to 1928. The farming is sustainable and the harvest by hand. The bunches are direct-pressed and the wine fermented in steel tank with native yeasts. It is aged on its lees without stirring in 23-25-hectoliter foudres for 6 months, followed by some months in underground vats and bottling by gravity with a light filtration a year after the vintage. There are usually a few grams of residual sugar, though they are easy to miss, given the high natural acidity of Romorantin. "Le Petit Chambord" is the historical name of the property and appears on all of its labels.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled white fish, oysters, goat cheese salad, roasted asparagus

Tasting Profile

Citrus blossom, white flower, and stone fruit with mineral undertones. Light to medium body with crisp acidity and dry character, displaying aromatic complexity and a clean finish.
