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.

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle
Chenin Blanc
The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.

NV Prosecco Brut DOC, Terre dei Buth
Glera
The wonderfully fresh and elegant Prosecco Brut Spumante from Terre dei Buth has joined the fabulous Frizzante styles on our shelves. This organic and vegan fizz is at once immensely appealing, with an enticing, softly textured palate of green apple, sherbert and gentle floral aromatics. The finish is fresh, superbly clean and a million miles away from the nasty mass produced wines which plague the supermarket shelves.
