Francois Chidaine 2020 Bournais Franc de Pied Loire Valley Chenin Blanc

Francois Chidaine Chenin Blanc 2020: A Masterpiece from Montlouis

Sourced from the esteemed Bournais vineyard in Montlouis-sur-Loire, this François Chidaine Chenin Blanc 2020 is a rare gem celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and terroir-driven elegance. Crafted from ungrafted vines, rooted directly in the region’s iconic limestone bedrock, this wine embodies the essence of Loire Valley viticulture at its finest.

Why It Stands Out:
– Ungrafted Vines: A testament to tradition, these vines resist phylloxera without American rootstock, offering unparalleled purity and complexity in flavor profiles.
– Limestone Terroir: The bedrock imparts vibrant minerality and crisp acidity, ensuring this wine ages gracefully for decades.
– Decanter 94 Points: Acclaimed for its quince and pear aromas, spicy anise undertones, and saline finish—a harmonious balance of fruitiness and austerity.

Tasting Experience:
On the palate, expect a textural elegance with notes of exotic fruit and spice, framed by zesty acidity that lingers effortlessly. Perfect for pairing with seafood or rich cheeses, this wine shines as a centerpiece for refined gatherings or solo sipping moments.

A Rarity Worth Cellaring:
Produced仅in exceptional vintages from just a handful of barrels, this Chenin Blanc exemplifies François Chidaine’s commitment to excellence. Compare it to other Bournais cuvées to truly appreciate the transformative power of ungrafted vines—a sensory journey through France’s wine heritage.
