François Cazin - Le Petit Chambord
François Cazin - Le Petit Chambord sits in Cheverny, a subregion of Touraine in the Middle Loire Valley. The winery produces wines from grapes native and adapted to this cool-climate terroir. Romorantin, the signature white of Cheverny, appears in the Cuvée Renaissance Cour-Cheverny Moelleux—a sweet expression that shows the variety's mineral character and honeyed complexity. Les Bisollières Cheverny blends Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay into a dry white of Loire precision. The Vendanges Manuelles Cheverny Rosé, made from Pinot Noir, reflects hand-harvested fruit and the region's tradition of elegant, food-friendly reds and rosés. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have both assessed the portfolio. The winery's output spans the dry, off-dry, and sweet styles that define Cheverny's identity—wines built on acidity, minerality, and the subtle interplay of Loire's continental climate and limestone soils.
