FRANCOIS CHIDAINE - LES ARGILES

The 2020 Les Argiles is a dry Chenin Blanc grown in Vouvray, but because the wine is made in Montlouis it's not entitled to the appellation, hence its vin de France status. But don't let the lack of status fool you - this is truly exceptional Chenin and Chidaine is one of the greatest producers in the area.

From deep clay soils, there's a richness on the mid-palate and rounded edges that are further shaped and curved by fermentation and maturation in demi-muids. It's a mid-weight style that offers plentiful concentration, remarkable freshness and mouthcoating grip. The finish is gourmand and textural with subtle apple pie notes lingering.
