Taste Block

Tasting Notes

Opens with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and pear skin, followed by subtle notes of white flowers and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is brisk and precise, with fine, persistent bubbles and a lightly chalky texture. Citrus and orchard fruit carry through the mid-palate, supported by firm acidity and a clear minerality. With no dosage to soften the finish, the wine concludes dry and focused

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

The high acidity and fine mousse of this Brut Nature will have you craving fresh flavors and lighter preparations rather than rich or heavily spiced fare. It pairs naturally with shellfish, cured fish, and lightly dressed seafood, where acidity mirrors brininess and refreshes the palate. Simple vegetable dishes, soft cheeses, and egg-based preparations are also strong matches. Avoid sweet glazes or heavy cream sauces, which can overwhelm the wine’s dry, linear profile.

About the Producer

François Chidaine is based in Montlouis-sur-Loire, a commune on the south bank of the Loire River directly across from Vouvray. His estate is regarded as one of the leading domaines in the central Loire for Chenin Blanc, producing wines from both Montlouis-sur-Loire AOC and Vouvray AOC, along with a small number of Vin de France bottlings from parcels outside the appellation boundaries.
