Origin

Montlouis Les Bournais is produced in the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation, located in the Loire Valley, France. This region is renowned for its exceptional white wines made primarily from the Chenin Blanc grape variety.

Variety

The wine is made exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes, a versatile and expressive variety that thrives in the Loire Valley terroir.

Production

Chidaine employs traditional winemaking techniques combined with careful vineyard management to express the unique terroir of Montlouis. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation, often in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. The wine may be aged on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.

Tasting notes

The palate is fresh and lively with balanced acidity, revealing flavors of ripe pear, quince, and a hint of honeyed complexity. The finish is elegant and persistent, showcasing the wine’s finesse and minerality.
