Located in the heart of the Quincy AOC in the Loire Valley, Domaine de Chevilly is a family-run estate. The domaine cultivates approximately 13 hectares of vines—roughly 25 years old on average—rooted in sand, flint, limestone and clay soils that warm quickly and deliver distinctive freshness.
Viticulture is handled with careful attention to site and sustainable practice. The soils—“caillottes,” Kimmeridgian limestone with oyster shells and flinty clay—lend mineral and textural complexity to the wines. In the cellar, Domaine de Chevilly uses modern sorting tables, pneumatic pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing on fine lees for months, intended to reflect the terroir rather than impose heavy oak or overt style.
What sets Domaine de Chevilly apart is its combination of specificity and clarity. In the Loire many associate Sauvignon Blanc with grassy, herbal styles—but here the wines are defined by bright citrus, crushed stone minerality, white-flower aromatics and a finely tuned tension between richness and lift. For example, one reviewer describes their 2023 offering as “a classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of currant, grass, lemon, grapefruit and stone. The palate leads with fruit and finishes with stone.”
