Domaine de Veilloux, 2017 Update
Domaine de Veilloux is an unsung but nevertheless significant domaine in the Cheverny appellation. The proprietors, Michel Quenouix (pictured below) and family, are descended from a line of vignerons who have been working the land since the time of the French Revolution, and perhaps for much longer than that. Throughout the 20th century they resisted the desire to branch out, into Cour-Cheverny, or into making other styles, sticking with a small range of white and red wines made solely under the Cheverny umbrella.
The specialty of the domaine is Menu Pineau, frequently a minor blending grape in the appellation, but at Domaine de Veilloux often a major part of the blend.
