COUP DE COEUR 2 Rouge 1 Blanc

François Chidaine is now one of the greatest winemakers in the Loire region, and by extension in France, recognised by his peers for his talent as a winemaker but also for his mastery of biodynamic principles. Since 1989, he has never ceased to fly the colours of the Montlouis appellation, which has found its perfect ambassador in him. Since then, he has crossed the riverbank to achieve the same success in Vouvray. His vineyard today reaches 37 hectares with a "haute couture" part, the rigour deployed on these grape purchases being the same. The level of all his chenins is exceptional, whether dry, semi-dry or sparkling, wines of dazzling finesse and precision. The Revue du Vin de France consecrated it in its 2017 Guide with the well-deserved award of the third star, an ultra-closed circle in the Loire..

Sébastien David's vines were mainly planted around 1940, with some plots being much older, planted long before the appellation was classified in 1937. Sébastien David has chosen organic and biodynamic farming to produce healthy grapes that respect the environment. In the cellar, the philosophy is low interventionist and Burgundian, with wooden containers, amphorae and long maturation. The wines are very pure, ripe and balanced. One can enjoy Hurluberlu, the perfect wine for friends, and all his more ambitious cuvées, always in very original containers.
