The 2018 Montlouis Les Bournais is a wine of min-blowing complexity and nuance. So deep yet also weightless and effortless, Les Bournais dazzles from the very first taste. Dried flowers, lime, mint, lemon confit and tangerine oil hover on the palate in a breathtaking Montlouis endowed with tons of translucence and sheer character. Don't miss it.

About the Producer

Francoise Chidaine is located in the picturesque town of Montlouis located directly across the river from Vouvray and just up-river from Tours. The estate is run by Francois Chiadian a second-generation vigneron with the help of his wife Manuela. Francois is very passionate about Chenin Blanc for its diversity and potential to create ageworthy wines. He is known to make some of the most terroir transparent, complex and ageworthy Chenin Blanc. He is also extremely devoted to natural farming, especially the practice of regenerative agriculture. This practice involves the implementation of practices known to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into plant material and organic matter. His vision isn't only about growing the best grapes or making the best wine but rather a vision for a better future.
