The Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Bournais Sec from Francois Chidaine is a French white wine that gleams in the glass with its golden hue and bright reflections. Made exclusively from hand-selected Chenin Blanc grapes from the Loire Valley vineyards, this wine embodies a pure expression of the Les Bournais terroir, known for its unique limestone-rich soil.
On the nose, Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Bournais Sec reveals a complex and enticing bouquet, with notes of white-fleshed fruit, such as peaches and pears, enriched by floral hints of acacia and honey. Once on the palate, the structure is robust yet balanced, with a fresh acidity leading to a persistent and mineral finish. Maturation in used barrels imparts a subtle vanilla note and a creamy texture that envelops the palate.
Perfect to serve as an aperitif, this wine pairs beautifully with dishes based on fish, seafood, or goat cheese. A true gem for lovers of deep and intricate white wines, Les Bournais Sec is a sublime expression of the winemaking expertise of Francois Chidaine.
