Château de Montfort
Château de Montfort sits in Touraine, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc thrive in cool-climate conditions. The winery's Crémant de Loire Brut—a blend of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc—demonstrates the region's sparkling wine tradition, built on high acidity and mineral precision. Its rosé counterpart reverses the blend proportions, offering a different expression of the same grapes. A still Vouvray Blanc, pure Chenin Blanc, rounds out the portfolio, capturing the variety's signature tension between ripeness and acidity. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have both assessed the winery's output. The Loire Valley's continental climate and limestone-rich soils shape these wines toward freshness and structure rather than weight.
