Reuilly

The Reuilly wine region is situated in the department of Cher, in the eastern part of the Loire Valley in France. It is a relatively small wine appellation, covering an area of about 200 hectares (494 acres) of vineyards.

The main grape variety in Reuilly is Sauvignon Blanc, which produces dry, crisp, and aromatic white wines. These wines are known for their fresh citrus and floral aromas, vibrant acidity and mineral-driven character. Reuilly Sauvignon Blanc is often compared to the renowned Sauvignon Blanc wines from the neighbouring region of Sancerre.

In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, Reuilly also produces a small amount of red and rosé wines. The red wines are made primarily from Pinot Noir, while the rosé wines are typically produced from Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir grapes. These red and rosé wines offer fruity flavours, light to medium body, and a refreshing character.

The Reuilly wine region benefits from a continental climate with cool temperatures and moderate rainfall. The soils in the area are diverse, featuring a combination of limestone, clay, and sandy gravel. This terroir contributes to the distinct characteristics found in Reuilly wines.

The winemakers in Reuilly are committed to sustainable viticultural practices, including organic and biodynamic farming methods. They strive to preserve the natural environment and produce wines that express the region's unique terroir.

Reuilly wines are often enjoyed as young and vibrant, showcasing the freshness and purity of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. They pair well with seafood, goat cheese, and light salads. The red wines of Reuilly can be enjoyed slightly chilled and are a good match for grilled poultry, charcuterie, and mushroom-based dishes.
