Francois Chidaine Montlouis Sec Clos du Breuil 2024

Chidaine's single-parcel Clos du Breuil ranks among Loire's most refined Chenin expressions. Farmed biodynamically on flinty clay and limestone soils with obsessive care, the wine reveals green apple, flint, and acacia in its aromatic complexity. The 2024 captures acute acidity balanced with Chenin's weight, offering honeycomb, minerality, and the kind of freshness that makes you pour again immediately. Proof that Montlouis deserves the attention usually reserved for Vouvray.
