Origin
Produced in the Touraine appellation within the Loire Valley, France, a region renowned for its diverse terroirs and quality wines.
Variety
The wine is primarily made from the Gamay grape variety, which is typical for red wines from the Touraine area.
Production
Chidaine employs traditional winemaking techniques combined with biodynamic practices to enhance the expression of the terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit character. Aging is typically done in stainless steel or neutral vessels to maintain vibrancy and purity.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Bright ruby red color with moderate intensity.
- Aroma: Fresh red fruit aromas such as cherry and raspberry, with subtle floral and earthy notes.
- Palate: Light to medium-bodied, lively acidity, smooth tannins, and a clean, refreshing finish.
Food pairings

- Grilled poultry and pork
- Charcuterie and mild cheeses
- Light pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
- Vegetable-based dishes and fresh salads
