Vigneau Chevreau have been making Chenin Blanc on the chalk-laden soils of their Domaine in Vouvray since the 19th Century, having converted to biodynamic practices in the early 1990s. Their sparkling Brut is made with 100% Chenin Blanc, showcasing notes of pear, honey blossom, and subtle grassiness supported by cleansing acidity and a fine mousse.

Vigneau Chevreau Sparkling Vouvray NV

Morin Sancerre Blanc 2022

Daniel Crochet Sancerre 2022

Full of velvety aromatics thanks to those precious Anjou schist soils. Has a lively, tight tension but drinks easy with lemon meal, pithy citrus, almond blossom and a nice mineral feel.

Domaine Ogereau En Chenin Chenin Blanc 2022

2022 is a little more complex rendition with more mineral impact, savoury saline and notes of straw, bitter lemon and talc. The palate is savoury and stoney, with lemon meal, salted rock and some pear pith. Yes, it’s delicious again and of course it'll go with oyster.

Bonnet-Huteau Dabinières Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine 2021

There’s aromatic lemon rind, crunchy stone fruits, chalky minerality & doughy biscuit in an altogether poised offering. Classy.

Jean François Mérieau J'ose les Fines Bulles 2018

So perfect with fresh oysters you’ll know how to shuck em' by the end of the glass and how to dive for them by the end of the bottle. Fermented in glass-lined concrete so that purity is captured and the energising acidity, doesn’t eat away at the porous concrete.

Olivier Cottenceau Grenaudiere Muscadet 2022

Champalou is given 11 months on lees and kept at low temperatures to develop into this refreshing and elegant wine with some fresh acidity and the most gentle sweetness that’s kept in check with some citrus blossom.

Champalou Vouvray Sec Tendre Chenin Blanc 2021

The wine is finally disgorged and remains unfiltered showing lovely orchard fruit, an oxidative, saline and meal component and finishes creamy driven by a fresh line of acidity. A complex and thought-provoking sparkling.

Le Facteur Vouvray Extra Brut Méthode Champenoise 2020

If texture, bubbly depth and flow are what you’re all about than here’s a Frenchy that’s all you. After 3 years on lees, each sip is full of golden apple, lemon rind and some subtle chic style.

Marc Brédif Brut Vouvray Chenin Blanc NV

A lovely, clean style of Chenin Blanc and the perfect bottle to keep you feeling fresh as the warm weather rolls in. Sleek citrus, chamomile and crisp apple characters meet lemon rind and blossom, subtle beeswax and a line of lively acidity. Next level pairing is with the Velvet Underground's Who Loves the Sun.

Chateau de Chamboureau Bonnes Blanches Anjou Chenin Blanc 2020

Those who love Muscadet, and those who haven’t had Muscadet–yet. That’s thanks to a dry palate of lemon blossom and a little grapefruit pith. It’s also because Fevrie is as perfect with a dipped chip in the park, as it is with the Beurre Blanc and a fillet of white fish you spent hours making.

Domaine Haute Févrie Sébastien Branger Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie 2020

Domaine de la Pépière Briords Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie 2022

Made with Pineau d’Aunis, Grolleau Noir and a pinch of Cab Franc. There’s so much depth in every glass, and just a lick of residual sweetness to make this a delightfully refreshing summer sparkling rosé.

Agnès and René Mosse Mosse Moussamoussettes Pét Nat 2021

Claire et Floret Bejon Pain-Perdu Cabernet Franc 2021

Incredibly delicious Chenin Blanc brimming with ripe apple and pear notes, a dab of beeswax and some honey woven throughout. If we had to choose a single word to describe this wine, it would simply be "yum"

Château de la Roulerie Le P'tit Chenin Anjou Blanc 2020

Lovely fresh Sauvy B that we eagerly await annually. Pours with subtle notes of tropical fruit, some fresh citrus and a lovely talcy softness. Perfect with wedges of Gruyere and chevre.

Sebastian Treuillet Pouilly Fumé 2022

François Chidaine Les Choisilles Montlouis Sur Loire 2020

Made with 100% Pineau d'Aunis that spend two days on skins, imparting a delightfully pink hue to the wine. Effortlessly guzzlable and dry on the finish, with the varietal hallmark spice adding to the complexity.
