Dear Friends, Dear Customers,
The Chavet family has been in Menetou-Salon since the 17th century. The ancestral vineyards, handed down from generation to generation, are cultivated with the greatest respect for the vine and its environment.
A winegrower does not inherit the vineyard, he or she is its guardian for future generations. It is in this spirit, and with the belief that in order to obtain a great wine it is necessary to accompany and preserve nature, that the estate has, since 2002, had Terra Vitis certification, a label that certifies that the wine is produced using sustainable viticulture techniques.
Biodiversity is our priority in the vineyard. This is why we no longer use weedkillers and favour the use of grass cover and soil management techniques. In the cellar, we accompany the natural transformation of the grapes with extreme gentleness, limiting our interventions to the strict minimum, according to the daily tastings.
All our wines are aged - from 6 months in vats to 18 months in amphorae and barrels - in order to reveal the depth and essence of our great terroir.
We hope to have the pleasure of seeing our cuvées in your establishment soon. Please find below the presentation of our different creations, along with the price list.
Warm regards from the winegrower
