If the Centre-Loire has won over wine lovers around the world, another of its emblematic appellations never fails to captivate food enthusiasts : Crottin de Chavignol PDO.

This small, iconic cheese, crafted in the rolling hills around Sancerre since the 16th century, has long been a perfect companion to the white wines of the Centre-Loire.

This masterclass offers a sensory journey into the heart of the region, led by terroir specialist Leslie Brochot and Laetitia Gaborit, a distinguished MOF cheesemonger. Together, they will guide you through refined pairings from sandy soils to flinty minerality, from vibrant limestone to the delicate richness of clay. Each stage of Crottin de Chavignol’s maturation reveals its own textures and aromas, echoing the character of the Centre-Loire’s terroirs. A unique opportunity to taste the terroir—in every sense…
