The estate

Located in the Cher department, at the heart of the Loire Valley in France, Domaine Dyckerhoff is a family-run property whose commercial production began in 2004. Today led by its founders, Christian and Bénédicte Dyckerhoff, the estate has quickly established itself as a leading ambassador of its appellation. Drawing on an Alsatian winegrowing heritage and a deep local agricultural knowledge, the couple cultivates their land with passion. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale, the estate stands out for its commitment to sustainable viticulture, producing wines that faithfully reflect the identity of their terroir.

The vineyard

This Reuilly wine comes from a vineyard covering 6 to 8 hectares, planted on soils composed of Kimmeridgian limestone, clays, gravelly sands and marls. The vines, with an average age of 15 years, benefit from a cool climate and farming practices certified Haute Valeur Environnementale, promoting biodiversity and controlled yields to ensure optimal grape quality.

The vintage

The year was marked by warm and dry growing conditions, ensuring a very low risk of disease and healthy fruit development. While the young vines experienced some mild water stress, the cool nights typical of the region helped preserve fine acidity. These favourable weather conditions led to an early and swift harvest.

Winemaking and ageing

The making of this 2025 Reuilly begins with cold maceration and gentle pressing. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, without any passage in oak barrels, in order to preserve all the freshness and aromatic brightness of the fruit.

Grape variety

100% Sauvignon Blanc.
