Tasting Note

A beautifully poised dry Chenin Blanc showing aromas of white peach, acacia, ripe pear, and a hint of lime zest. The palate is silky, lifted by crisp acidity and flinty minerality. Flavours of baked apple, honeyed citrus, and a delicate saline touch linger on the finish. Elegant and precise

About the Winery

François Chidaine

François Chidaine is one of the Loire Valley’s most respected vignerons, known for his deep commitment to biodynamics and his thoughtful, vineyard-first approach to winemaking. The estate is based in Montlouis-sur-Loire, just across the river from Vouvray in France’s central Loire region. Chidaine began working alongside his father in the late 1980s and formally took over the family domaine in 1989. Over the decades, he has expanded the holdings to include parcels in both Montlouis and Vouvray, as well as select plots in Touraine.
