The Montlouis-sur-Loire "Brut Nature" 2022 by François Chidaine is an exemplary expression of Chenin Blanc and biodynamic farming in the Loire Valley. This sparkling wine, crafted using the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) with no added sugar (zero dosage), highlights the absolute purity of the terroir.

On the nose it is extremely vibrant, with aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest and white flowers, complemented by an intense sense of minerality and flint. On the palate, the bubbles are fine and persistent, offering an elegant texture that balances with the lively acidity and notes of pear and almond. The 2022 vintage gives the wine a special energy and a crystalline, saline finish that makes it ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood and goat cheeses.
