Domaine de Montcy

The History of Domaine de Montcy

Domaine de Montcy has been built up gradually since the 1990s. The vineyards that belonged to the Château de Troussay are at the origin of the vineyard. Other terroirs then came to complete the vineyard, belonging to the villages of Cheverny, Cormeray, Chitenay, and more recently Celettes.

Since 2003, Vincent Hayer has been the winemaker and manager of Domaine de Montcy, supported by the Chevrier family. In late 2020, he began work on a new winery, located in Cormeray, which should be operational for the 2022 harvest. It will complement the historic winery at Porte Dorée and keep up with Domaine de Montcy's increasing production.

The Domaine de Montcy vineyard

The Domaine de Montcy vineyard covers 30 hectares, divided equally between red and white grape varieties. The average age of the vines is 35 years. The entire vineyard belongs to the AOC Cheverny and Cour Cheverny appellations. The average annual production is 70,000 bottles.

The red grape varieties are 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Gamay Noir and 5% Malbec (Côt). The white grape varieties are represented by 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Chardonnay and 5% Romorantin. The estate also has a heritage of old Sauvignon vines planted on the Clos des Cendres, the most famous of the estate.

The estate has been certified organic since 2012, and Demeter biodynamic since 2015. This orientation was decided to guarantee the quality of the wines, to preserve the health of the vines and the planet, but also for the health of the teams who work day after day on the estate.
