AboutVignobles Günther-Chéreau
Véronique Günther-Chéreau and her daughter Aurore run this Loire family winegrowing group. Véronique succeeded her father in 1989, and Aurore joined in 2011 after training as a winemaker. The family works at Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre, Château de la Gravelle and Grand Fief de la Cormeraie.
Melon B and smaller plantings of Folle Blanche grow on sites with gneiss, gabbro and mica schist. Wines from individual plots are made separately and aged on their lees in underground tanks. Some vineyards are undergoing organic conversion.
Vignobles Günther-Chéreau 2022 Château de la Gravelle Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie
French White
Vignobles Günther-Chéreau 2017 Monnières-Saint-Fiacre Muscadet
French White
A mature Muscadet with golden colour and a complex nose of baked apple, citrus, butter and stone. The palate is full and structured, its rounded texture balanced by a clear mineral line and steady acidity. Long and savoury on the finish, it is well suited to richer seafood, roast fish, poultry or dishes finished with brown butter.
