What reviewers say
“Fijne Loire wijn waar toevoeging van 15% Chardonnay de scherpe randjes van de sauvignon eraf te lijkt halen, zonder hem z’n frisse en levendige podium af te nemen.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A pale straw in the glass with light fleeting scents of jalapino & bell pepper cloaked in scents of wet stone and citrus. In the mouth there was good minerality that transitioned into flavors of lemon zest in the midpalate and then closed with good acidity and minerality.

The calibrated figure is built from 2,428 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,503 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 7,335 other whites from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Domaine du Salvard Cheverny Blanc lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · France (7,336 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,428.
