Les Cailloux du Paradis - Etienne Courtois - Romorantin 2016
Les Cailloux du Paradis belongs to Claude Courtois and is located in Soings-en-Sologne, near Cheverny. Claude Courtois manages the vineyard with his son Julien and cultivates 13 hectares of Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Côt (Malbec) and Cabernet Sauvignon in red varieties as well as Sauvignon Blanc and Pineau d'Aunis and other indigenous varieties. They work with respect for nature, without chemical intervention and using atypical winemaking techniques.
According to genetic analyses, Romorantin is the result of a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc. This white variety monopolises only one appellation in the world: the AOC Cour-Cheverny, in Sologne. The appellation of Cour-Cheverny (and therefore of Romorantin) covers 11 communes with around sixty hectares in operation. The Romorantin offers fairly fine, fruity and pleasant wines with notes of apricot, peach, honey and white flowers, a wine that combines power, liveliness, finesse and excellent aging potential.
Grape variety: 100% Romorantin
