#10 wine in Jane Anson's
"Top Fine Wines of 2019"
Rated 95 points ‘Exceptional!’
– Decanter Magazine
“A brilliant value Chenin that over delivers the unique combination of steely acidity with
sweet peaches and pear creaminess. There is a touch of natural grape sugar in this, but it is only discernible through the weight of fruit, never through sweetness. The vines are all aged between 30 and 40 years old, from a certified organic vineyard (farmed biodynamically).
Drunk over a family lunch with heaped plates of langoustines and prawns, topped off with a
fresh baguette and salted butter...heaven, from an estate that I know well and am
always made hugely happy by. Best drinking from 2019 – 2024.”
- Jane Anson, Decanter’s Premier Wine Critic
With encyclopedic knowledge of the wines and various terroirs of
the Loire Valley, as well as his native Vouvray, Christoph Vigneau-Chevreau is a restless
and innovative vigneron. He has been tirelessly working & succeeding in establishing a new
level of quality for Vouvray without forsaking the uniqueness of their terroir.
It’s very rare to see Vouvray of this supreme quality for such an astonishingly
low price. And, even more impressive, the wine was farmed Biodynamically, and is certified
organic, too. Slightly off-dry, sweetness balanced by the natural acidity. Outstanding with seafood such as scallops, langoustines and white fish in a delicate sauce.
