Domaine Maison

Domain Maison is located in the heart of the Cheverny designation. It extends over 73ha, it is a blending of 60% of white vines (Sauvignon, Chardonnay), and of 40% red vines (Pinot noir, Gamay). The vineyard is cultivated in accordance to the soil and the environment by favoring the quality of grapes by a control of the yields. The plots are perfectly exposed. They benefit from the best weather conditions thanks to their geographical location between two rivers: the Loire and the Cher. Wines of Cheverny and Domaine Maison are renowned for their particular taste thanks to the clay-limestone and lighter gravely soils. The Domaine Maison produces delicate, subtle, varied and aromatic wines. In 2020, Domaine Maison obtained HVE 3 certifications.

Cheverny is a French wine region in the Loire Valley that makes dry white wines, light red wines and rosé wines. The area received AOVDQS (Appellation d'Origine Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure) status in 1973, and then AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) on 26 March 1993 when new regulatory laws were passed. The wine region is spread over 532 hectares, within 24 communes of the Loir-et-Cher department. The white wines are composed of Sauvignon blanc grapes, at a proportion of 60%–80%, blended with Arbois, Chardonnay or Pineau Blanc de la Loire grapes. A small proportion is made into sparkling wine. The red wines are composed of Gamay grapes, at a proportion of 40%–65%, blended with Pinot noir grapes. Cabernet Franc and Côt can be used to make up to 15% of the wine. Pineau d'Aunis is added to these grape varieties when making rosés.
