Product Notes

François Chidaine Les Tuffeaux wine, produced by a revered biodynamic winemaker, is a captivating Loire Valley white that strikes a fabled balance. The Chenin Blanc grapes contribute to the light gold hue, enticing aromas of ripe orchard fruits, and honeyed undertones. On taste, it unveils layers of quince, pear, and subtle spices, reinforced by a minerality derived from the renowned tuffeaux soil. Its well-structured acidity is perfectly integrated with the wine's depth and complexity, leading to a natural persistent finish. This wine radiates the unique essence of Montlouis-sur-Loire, proving an unforgettable drinking experience. Enjoy chilled with seafood or creamy dishes.
