Description

Based in Montlouis, Francois Chidaine makes beguiling wines from Chenin Blanc and is largely regarded as the producer who put Montlouis ‘back on the map’.  The Clos du Breuil is made from a single parcel of low-yielding vines grown biodynamically on flinty/clay soils.  Grapes are harvested by hand, with a spontaneous fermentation in large, old demi-muid oak barrels.  The wine is then lees aged, without batonnage, for several months. 


The complex nose shows notes of fresh pear and apple alongside floral honeysuckle and more exotic lemongrass. The beautifully weighted palate is clean and precise with quince, peach and grapefruit zest and mouth-watering acidity.  The finish is long and saline with mineral notes showing finesse and an understated power.
