Domaine Philippe Tessier, Cheverny Blanc 'La Charbonnerie' 2023

While Cheverny is far from a household name, check out buzzy natural wine bars in Paris, and it’s clear that the region’s footprint will become more significant sooner rather than later. In this cool area along the southern banks of the Loire River, Philippe Tessier has farmed his family’s vines organically since the ‘90s. Tessier blends sauvignon blanc with chardonnay and orbois to make this ripe-fruited, medium-bodied white wine.

Tastes like: Yellow apple, lime zest, sea spray, jasmine.
How to drink: Cold with mussels, roasted asparagus, or a salad with goat cheese.
