White Cheverny wines are produced in Loir-et-Cher and belong to the Cheverny AOC. The wines are primarily based on Sauvignon grapes, usually a combination of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. They are usually blended with Chardonnay, while other permitted varieties include Chenin Blanc and Arbois (Orbois).
The wines are pale yellow, usually streaked with green highlights. The aromas include a blend of citrus and white fruit, sometimes with a hint of spices. They are typically fresh, clean, well-balanced, and lively, and most are enjoyed young. White Cheverny wines pair well with appetizers, seafood, and goat cheese.
