NV Alexandre Monmousseau - Cremant de Loire Brut

A truly dynamic bottle of bubbles. Incredibility fine for a bottle under $20.

2019 Alexandre Monmousseau - Vouvray Clos de Vigneau

2019 Baudry - Chinon Domaine

The 2019 Chinon Le Domaine provides excellent concentration of fruit while remaining light on its feet. 100% Cabernet Franc

2020 Baudry - Chinon Les Granges

Sourced from a single block on the valley floor, where the vines have their feet in free-draining sandy/gravel soils, the 2020 Chinon Les Granges is made a lighter, fruit-driven style with a fine-grained tannic profile. This flows easily with no sense of ...

2020 Blanchet, F. Pouilly Fume Silice

2018 Breton Chinon Beaumont

Vivid ruby. Classic Chinon nose that's earthy, savory and meaty, showing notes of plum and tomato. On the palate, flavors of black cherry and licorice, rich and plush, along with velvety tannins, attractive hints of pencil shavings and a long dark mineral...

2019 Chidaine Vouvray Le Bouchet

2019 Chidaine - Montlouis Clos du Breuil

2019 Chidaine - Montlouis Clos Habert

From a soil composed of clay and coarse flint elements covering the subsoil made up of tuff, the 2019 Montlouis sur Loire Clos Habert opens with a very fine and delicate bouquet of finely concentrated yellow-fleshed fruit aromas along with herbal and flin...

2019 Chidaine - Montlouis Les Bournais

Planted in 1998, this is the youngest parcel that the domaine owns on argilo-calcaire soil, a little bit like Vouvray. There's a meter or so of top soil before hitting the limestone. The 2019 Bournais is ripe and fuller in style, offering welcoming peach ...

2019 Chidaine - Montlouis Les Choisilles

A blend of several parcels in Montlouis rather than a single vineyard. The 2019 Les Choisilles is welcoming and succulent in style; it contains 4.7g/L of residual sugar but this softens the palate rather than adds sweetness, while the acidity creates a cl...

2019 Chidaine - Vouvray Clos Baudoin

The 2019 Baudoin is a Vin de France only because of the inflexibility of French wine law meaning that the grapes from their Vouvray vineyards can't be vinified outside the appellation's boundary at Chidaine's nearby cellar in Montlouis. Despite the regula...
