Cour-Cheverny is a small wine appellation in the Loire Valley in France, known for producing white wines from the Romorantin grape. The region was granted official AOC (Appellation d'origine contrôlée) status in 1997 and covers less than 60 hectares.
The wines produced in Cour-Cheverny are marked by their crisp, high acidity and pronounced minerality. They often display flavors and aromas of honey, acacia, and citrus fruit. Some wine producers in the region have also started to experiment with making sweet dessert wines from late-harvested Romorantin grapes.
Cour-Cheverny is located very close to the famous Château de Chambord and Château de Cheverny - grand manor houses which count amongst the most renowned and visited châteaux in the French Loire Valley. The wine region has been influenced by the long history and culture surrounding these châteaux, adding a sense of antiquity and prestige to the wines produced here.
