Benoit Daridan

Family domaine in Cour-Cheverny, between the châteaux of Chambord and Cheverny, with a winegrowing history traced back to 1740. Benoit Daridan has run it since 2001, farming about 21 hectares sustainably (one source says 31) for Cheverny white, red and rosé and Cour-Cheverny from the rare Romorantin grape, including a 50-year-old plot.
