The Montlouis-sur-Loire "Les Grillonnieres" 2020 by François Chidaine is a rare and refined off-dry (tendre) Chenin Blanc, sourced from a privileged south-facing vineyard. This wine reflects the perfect balance between residual sugars and crystalline acidity, a hallmark of Chidaine's biodynamic approach.

On the nose it is particularly aromatic and elegant, with notes of ripe peach, apricot and acacia flowers, combined with a subtle flinty minerality. On the palate, the 2020 vintage offers a velvety, "full" texture with a honeyed feel, which is perfectly balanced by a crisp freshness. Its finish is long and multilayered, making it an ideal companion for ethnic cuisine, spicy dishes, foie gras or even fruit-based desserts.
