Loire
Ragotiere 2024 Chardonnay
Domaine Pelle 2019 Menetou-Salon Morogues Blanc
White flowers and citrus lead into ripe peach, lime zest and a gentle herbal note. The palate is fuller than many Loire Sauvignon Blancs, but remains racy and clear, with refreshing acidity and a saline mineral line carrying the finish. Its balance of richness and precision works well with goat cheese, asparagus, shellfish or herb-roasted chicken.
Domaine Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Sancerre Fretoy
White flowers, orange and clementine form a bright, aromatic bouquet, with a light hint of anise adding definition. The palate is ample and rounded, its ripe fruit balanced by freshness and a gently bitter close. Clean and versatile, it works well as an aperitif or with asparagus, shellfish and fresh goat cheese.
Domaine Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Pouilly-Fume L’Arret Buffatte
Pear, green apple, lemon and white flowers open with aromatic clarity, underpinned by a cool line of flinty minerality. The palate is vibrant and textured, with citrus-driven acidity and a firm mineral backbone. Precise, expressive and composed through the finish, it suits goat cheese, shellfish or simply prepared salmon.
Champalou 2023 Vouvray Sec
White acacia blossom opens into green apple, pear and quince, with a quiet note of honeyed wax and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and dry, balancing fruit expression with fresh acidity and a long, clean finish. Detailed yet unforced, it works equally well as an aperitif or alongside grilled trout, pork, rice dishes or fresh cheeses.
Champalou 2022 Vouvray Les Fondraux
Ripe Chenin Blanc fruit opens with gentle honeyed roundness, giving the palate concentration and fullness without heaviness. White-flower freshness and flinty minerality keep the sweetness precise, while a velvety texture carries cleanly into a brisk finish. Elegant and versatile, it works beautifully with pâté, mild curry or creamy cheeses.
