If you want to understand what Loire reds can do when made by careful hands and natural instincts, Hervé Villemade's Cheverny Rouge is a near-perfect entry point. Hervé took over his family domaine in 1995, converted to organic farming starting in 2000 after tasting wines by natural pioneers like Marcel Lapierre and Thierry Puzelat, and has spent the last quarter-century quietly making Cheverny one of the Loire's most exciting addresses. The 2024 Rouge is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay from organically certified vineyards on clay and sand with silex (flint) stones over limestone. Fermented mostly whole-cluster with native yeasts in concrete and wooden vats, no fining, no filtration, minimal sulfur — this is a juicy, sappy, energetic Loire red that practically begs for a chill and a Tuesday night.

More about Herve Villemade

Hervé went conventional, then developed a severe sulfur allergy around 1997. Instead of quitting, he pivoted to zero-SO₂ winemaking and organic farming, which meant he needed the best fruit possible. Now his Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny wines ferment wild, age in everything from concrete to amphora, and taste like somebody actually thinks about what they're making. Still allergic, still uncompromising.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Versatile and Tuesday-friendly — roast chicken, charcuterie boards, mushroom pizza, lentil stew, grilled sausages with mustard, duck confit salad, or a plate of cheeses from soft to mid-aged.

Tasting Profile

Juicy and sappy, with bright raspberry, kirsch, and red cherry over an earthy, underbrush note. Fine tannins, lively acidity, low alcohol, and a savory mineral finish — a red that drinks easy and rewards focus.
