From the family-owned Maison Pierre Chainier, based in Amboise on the banks of the Loire, this Vouvray is a textbook expression of Chenin Blanc from one of France’s most storied appellations. Grown on the chalky Tuffeau soils upstream from Tours, the grapes are handpicked in October — some with a touch of noble rot (botrytis) that concentrates natural sugars and adds complexity. The wine ferments slowly over a month, resulting in a beautifully off-dry style with a sweet entry and a clean, dry finish.
Rich and aromatic, with flavors of orange peel, honey, and ripe quince, and a long finish with a lingering honey note. One of the most food-versatile whites you can buy at this price.
Food Pairings: Thai green curry, Szechuan dishes, spicy tuna rolls, pork chops with apple sauce, honey-glazed ham, fruit tarts, and almond pastries.
Varietal: 100% Chenin Blanc Style: Off-Dry White Producer: Maison Pierre Chainier Appellation: Vouvray, Loire Valley, France Vintage: 2024 Bottle Size: 750ml

Producer Notes
For Pierre Chainier, the Loire was a case of love at first sight, with its vineyards and fresh, fruity wines: so easy to drink either young or venerably old: like the 1893 Vouvrays, still in perfect condition today. Today, the Maison Pierre Chainier is still a family business, based in Amboise, a royal town built on the banks of the River Loire. They are a family of wine merchants, specializing in Touraine wines. With average production of approximately 6 millions bottles. The Vouvray vineyards are situated upstream from Tours in the North of the Loire valley. Vines are planted on clay limestone and clay siliceous grounds on the chalky “Tuffeau” soil. The vines roots overhang the cellars built in the rock nearby the houses called “Troglodytes”. The ripe grapes are handpicked during October. Some of the grapes have noble rot also known as botrytis which concentrates the sugar in the grapes. The wines ferment very slowly over a month.
Produced from 100% Chenin Blanc This off-dry wine gives a sweet sensation with a dry finish on the palate. A concentration of rich flavors develops fruity aromas such as orange peel, honey and ripe quince. It has a great long finish with a slight honey taste. Delicious!
