“A stunning example of Chenins range and appeal. Green fig and crunchy melon are open and inviting, layered with a savory jolt of salty mineral, chive and sage notes. Cool minerality keeps pace with the fruit through the firm finish, supported by fine, piercing acidity. Silky, long and pure. Drink now through 2033. 30 cases imported.”

Highlights

Estate encompasses 37 hectares across Montlouis, Vouvray and Touraine, with a combined 30 ha of Chenin Blanc in Montlouis and Vouvray farmed organically since 1992 and biodynamically since 1999; soils range from flint and clay to clay and limestone. Mineral nose shows citrus and licorice notes revealing a wild side, and the palate balances bright freshness with fleshy fruitiness.

Francois Chidaine is a wine estate in the Loire Valley encompassing 37 hectares (91 acres) of vines in the appellations of Montlouis, Vouvray and Touraine. Chenin Blanc is the backbone of the estate, but its more recent acquisitions in Touraine and Bullas in Spain have significantly expanded its portfolio of grape varieties.

The combined 30ha (74 acres) of Chenin Blanc vines in Montlouis and Vouvray have been farmed organically since 1992 and biodynamically from 1999 onwards. The soil types vary from mixtures of flint and clay, to clay and limestone.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is paramount to our business. We source our products exclusively from reputable, licensed importers, distributors, wine brokers, and world-renowned auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. We also acquire bottles from select private collections where clear and documented provenance is provided, ensuring a verifiable history for our finest items.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description. We are happy to provide additional high-resolution images upon request-please contact us.

We use premium, industry-standard materials to protect every shipment. Depending on the bottle and destination, we use a combination of insulated foam box inserts, custom-fit air column bags, and heavy-weight cardboard shippers to prevent damage. For added peace of mind, we offer shipping protection against loss or damage at checkout through OrderProtection.com.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We also offer flexible payment options through Shop Pay Installments and Sezzle. For customers interested in using cryptocurrency, we accept BTC, ETH, XRP, USDC, and more through Coinbase Commerce.
