Francois Chidaine Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Add to cart$29.00in any six
$31.00 per single bottle
Born from incredibly low yields of intensely flavoured berries, the 2017 Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a very strong vintage from Francois Chidaine. It combines a mouthful of fleshy ripe fruit with bracing freshness. There is also plenty of complexity from wild fermentation and lees ageing. The depth of flavour and interest here is very impressive […]

Add to cart$39.00in any six
$42.00 per single bottle
This great value, lip-smacking, crystalline Chenin from the southern soils of the Limoux region (more famous for its sparkling wines), is made in the spirit of Montlouis. A more racy, juicy and playful style than this grower’s northern Chenin, yet it remains classically detailed and pure, with teasing aromas of ripe citrus, yellow plum and […]

Vincent Pinard Sancerre ‘Flores’ 2015
$49.00in any six
$53.00 per single bottle
100% tank fermented and aged. As the name suggests this cuvee is very floral. Fine crisp and very classic there is plenty lemon, lime and grapefruit zest with a ripe juicy acidity, a strong complex terroir dimension is obvious, too, with its chalky, mineral touches.

This much-loved 100% Chenin Blanc is made from late harvested grapes from a range of Chidaine’s old Chenin plots – including the Clos du Volagray, Saint-Martin and Grillonnieres – sites that have stony soils and are heavy in yellow limestone (or tuffeaux).

Francois Chidaine Les Argiles Vouvray 2017
Add to cart$71.00in any six
$76.00 per single bottle
This has a simply charming nose, very open in style, tangerine fruit marked with minerally veins. The palate shows a little hint of an incisive character at the start, before it relaxes to reveal a broad seam of pithy tangerine, apple and peach fruit. An undeniably ripe style, with tight central seams of chalky mineral […]

Francois Chidaine Les Bournais Montlouis 2016

$85.00 per single bottle
Unlike most of Montlouis, which is on clay and flint, this four hectare vineyard (planted in 1998) lies on a pocket of clay and Bournais limestone, the stone from which it takes its name. It’s a beautiful site, certainly one of Montlouis’ finest. Chidaine’s vinification here is exactly the same as his Clos de Breuil […]

This has a beautifully pure style on the nose, reminiscent of dessert apples and pears, showing a sweeter and more confident vein. The palate is fresh, laden with polished fruit character, intertwined with gentle acids and minerals, wrapped within a cushion of soft and sweet fruit. This is convincing, pure, vibrant and flavoursome, but it […]

$97.00 per single bottle
With an average yield across the domaine of just 5-6hl/ha, only two Vouvray’s were made in 2016. The lion’s share was picked very ripe and collated into this (sublime) cuvée. The residual finished somewhere in the 20-30g/lt range, yet the weightlessness and energy here makes the wine seem like a ripe and luscious, yet almost […]
