François Cazin Cheverny Rouge 2023 is a classic Loire Valley red wine produced at Domaine Le Petit Chambord by fifth-generation winemaker François Cazin. Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir, Gamay, and a small amount of Côt (Malbec), the wine comes from sustainably farmed vineyards rooted in clay-limestone and silica-rich soils in the Cheverny AOC. Each grape variety is vinified separately—Pinot Noir is destemmed, Gamay undergoes semi-carbonic whole-cluster fermentation, and Côt adds color and structure—before the wine is blended and aged in stainless steel without oak. The result is a fresh, elegant, and expressive red with vibrant fruit, lively acidity, and remarkable food-friendly character. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled pork, charcuterie, mushrooms, salmon, and soft cheeses.
