Hervé Villemade
Hervé Villemade is situated in Cheverny, a distinctive appellation within Touraine in the Middle Loire Valley. The winery produces wines from classic Loire varieties: Pinot Noir and Gamay form the backbone of its red and rosé offerings, while Sauvignon Blanc represents the region's white wine tradition. The Rosé, a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir, stands as the winery's highest-rated expression. Le Domaine du Moulin Les Ardilles Cheverny, also built from Pinot Noir and Gamay, reflects the terroir-driven character of the appellation. A Sauvignon Blanc rounds out the portfolio, capturing the mineral precision for which the Loire is renowned. Decanter and Wine Spectator have assessed the winery's output, anchoring its profile among serious wine drinkers. Cheverny's cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils shape wines of freshness and structure—hallmarks of Middle Loire viticulture.
