{"product_id":"francois-cazin-romorantin-cour-cheverny","title":"Francois Cazin Romorantin Cour-Cheverny","description":"\u003cp\u003eKing François I mandated the planting of Romorantin vines near his chateau in 1519. Today, this obscure white grape exists almost entirely within the boundaries of the tiny Cour-Cheverny appellation. François Cazin stands as the benchmark producer for this idiosyncratic varietal. He farms old vines planted as far back as 1928 on clay-limestone soils. The stark profile demands strict attention. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts in aging concrete and neutral oak vats. The process presents a bare, structural interpretation of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a stark reflection of traditional Loire Valley winemaking. High, piercing acidity defines the structural backbone. A distinct, slightly viscous texture builds mid-palate, contradicting the initial aromatic austerity. Time in the bottle profoundly transforms the liquid, shifting its nervous energy into complex layers of bruised orchard fruit, bitter almond, and crushed stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francois Cazin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42493998858286,"sku":"614019599938","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0173\/0930\/files\/product-image_e8ddfd6e-77a6-4b11-bda3-7f2ad9a8f0b7.jpg?v=1783537030","url":"https:\/\/dewinespot.co\/products\/francois-cazin-romorantin-cour-cheverny","provider":"De Wine Spot - Rare Spirits \u0026 Curated Wine Experts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
