Domaine de Montcy

Established in the 1990s from the historic vineyards of Château de Troussay, Domaine de Montcy now covers around thirty hectares, spread over four main parcels in the communes of Cheverny, Cormeray, Chitenay and Cellettes. Under the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny appellations d'origine contrôlée, the winery is distinguished by its balance of red ... (Pinot Noir, Gamay, Malbec) and white (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Romorantin) grape varieties, including a parcel of old Sauvignons planted on the famous "Clos des Cendres".

Certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic (Demeter) since 2015, Domaine de Montcy is firmly committed to environmentally-friendly viticulture. Its new winery, due to open in June 2022 in Cormeray, is built entirely by local craftsmen to eco-responsible standards, with a timber frame and insulation using natural materials. Thanks to a photovoltaic plant on its roof in partnership with the Blais'Watt association, the winery produces renewable electricity to cover the needs of 32 families, reflecting the winery's commitment to clean energy.

Biodynamic practices at Domaine de Montcy are based on observation, patience and humility towards the environment, promoting biodiversity and the production of authentic, natural wines. Biodynamic preparations are used to improve the life of the soil and the balance of the vines, while respect for the lunar cycles guides the viticultural work.

Romorantin occupies a special place at the heart of this approach. Planted by François Iᵉʳ during the construction of Château de Chambord, this rare grape variety, with only 70 hectares in the world, is magnified at Domaine de Montcy. The ambition is to have it recognised as an exceptional grape variety, contributing to the reputation and uniqueness of the wines produced by the winery. see more
