Domaine Andre Neveu

Winemakers and cheesemakers extraordinaire

Part-winemakers, part-cheesemakers, Valerie and Thomas Dezat (the eponymous Andre’s daughter and son-in-law) produce a full, but still elegant, style of Sancerre with plenty of Sauvignon Blanc fruit character.

The estate covers 12ha of vines and include some parcels of very Vieilles vignes, some over 50 years old and the Dezat’s do everything themselves by hand, from pruning and harvesting right through to bottling.

The Monts Damnes, their top cuvee, has a weight and concentration that sets it apart from many of its peers, with a real 'Grand Cru' feel to it. But any of the wines will be a fine match for one of the sharp goats cheeses they make when not busy with the vines.

Local Food. Local Wine.

One of the easiest approaches to food and wine matching is to pair food and wines from the same region. The village of Chavignol in Sancerre is famous for both white wine and small, sharp goats cheeses called Crottins. They make a brilliant combination.
