Francois Chidaine Montlouis Les Bournais 2022
The vineyard is run biodynamically. No chemical phytosanitary product is used. The soils are ploughed. Melliferous and nematicidal plants are sown in the rows. The preparations used come only from the processed plant, animal and mineral materials. The soil is composed of deep clays and white chalk, only clay-limestone in nature. The subsoil is made up of Tuffeau, a soft, white limestone rock through which the roots create a passage.

Francois Chidaine Montlouis Les Bournais 2022
Vineyards
Run biodynamically. The preparations used come only from the processed plant, animal and mineral materials.
Winemaking and Maturation
After pressing, the alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts in demi-muids, pieces of wood with a capacity of 600 liters. It can last up to six months. “Malolactic fermentation” is not sought. Ageing is carried out on fine lees, always in demi-muids.
Tasting Notes
A small parcel on the edge of the the Montlouis plateau looking out over the Loire. Les Bournais is the only parcel in Montlouis to posses the classic soil components that Vouvray is so famous for; solid limestone bedrock, covered with chalky limestone chunks and clay.
A few years have passed since the first vintage (2008), and it is becoming very clear that François’ prediction has proved correct. The wine from this vineyard invariably shows that classic balance between mineral and acid tension backing up fleshy, forward fruit aromatics. The wines have aged incredibly well thus far, even from young vines. This is a very classy wine.
