François Chidaine, Montlouis 'Clos du Breuil' 2020

François Chidaine is one of France’s most exciting white wine makers. The combination of outstanding vineyards sites, all managed biodynamically, ridiculously low yields and minimal intervention élevage help produce some of the world’s great dry and sweet styles of Chenin Blanc. ‘You have to look to the historical collections of regional leaders Foreau and Huet to find comparable consistently high quality, making it clear that Chidaine is one of the world's finest craftsmen in the medium of white wine, not to mention a continuing source of amazing value.’ David Schildknecht
