We all know that Cheese and Wine go well with each other, and so it is with the dry white Sauvignon wines of Sancerre (18 Cher. Centre – Val-de-Loire) and the local goats cheese – Crottin de Chavagnol. Hence 11 – 12 May 2024 -would be a good date to head for Sancerre for the Fête “Chavignol Toujours” – the weekend nearest to Ascension Day for a festival of Crottin de Chavignol.
A hilltop wine village overlooking the Loire river and the vineyards, this medieval village is well worth visiting for its many bistros. cafés and wine cellars – or maybe a visit to the Maison des Sancerre in the Rue du Méridien for a tasting or information on visiting local vineyards.
