"Spicy redcurrant nose with notes of cracked pepper, black fruits and sous-bois. Polished, fleshy fruit, blackcurrants and smoky-spiciness that builds to a delicious weight in the mid palate. The finish is long and complex with sweet cherries and a touch of herbs. Such fine tannins!"
Jean-Pierre Chevallier used to teach oenology at Bordeaux university before returning to the stunning family property, 15 hectares of chalky soils all surrounding the Château overlooking the Loire. Jean-Pierre has made Château de Villeneuve the reference for great Champigny and he is in high demand for his advice which he gives freely to his fellow growers. The reds are given part-barrel ageing in 250 litre and 500 litre demi muids. Jean Pierre's wines are sought after by all top restaurants in France.
