Champalou France | Loire | Vouvray
Champalou
France | Loire | Vouvray
A delightful balance of stony minerality with luscious, almost honeyed fruit and flowery notes. Try it with this recipe for Sea Scallops with Brown Butter.
Château d’Épiré France | Loire | Savennières
Daniel Chotard
France | Loire | Sancerre
An intense exotic nose lures you in before the minerality channels the lightning energy of this pure Sauvignon Blanc.
Régis Minet
France | Loire | Pouilly Fumé
This polished white will shine with fresh ceviche.
Éric Chevalier
France | Loire | Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu
Crisp and mineral-driven, this slightly saline Muscadet will quench any parched palate.
Pascal Janvier
France | Loire | Coteaux du Loir
This Chenin Blanc has a tart sweetness, or perhaps a sweet tartness—with neither overbearing—that epitomizes good balance and will have you greedily reaching for your glass.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
A rare Chenin Blanc from the land of Cabernet Franc. Ultra fresh and brimming with citrus blossom and orchard fruit notes, it has a saline, mineral finish that leaves my palate simultaneously satisfied and begging for more. Try it with fresh trout, grilled whole topped with chimichurri or smoked and tossed into a Niçoise salad.
Catherine & Pierre Breton
France | Loire | Vouvray
This wine is deep and textural, with serious presence on the palate and a dry, flinty finish.
Catherine & Pierre Breton
France | Loire | Vouvray
Delicate, precise, and succulent at the same time, this beautiful blanc will pair well with fresh seafood and light summer salads and pastas.
Grange Saint-Sauveur
France | Loire | Vin de France
Fermented and aged in barrel and bottled unfiltered, it features a delightful kiss of oak on the long, bracing, mouth-watering finish.
Daniel Chotard France | Loire | Sancerre
Daniel Chotard
France | Loire | Sancerre
Simply gorgeous, the Cris is sublimely perfumed, generous on the palate, and long and saline on the elegant finish.
Daniel Chotard
France | Loire | Sancerre
A fleshy, full-bodied Sancerre with great freshness and the ability to age in bottle for a few years after release.
Daniel Chotard France | Loire | Sancerre
Domaine Trotereau France | Loire | Quincy
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
It fills the mouth with suspicions of honeysuckle and pulpy stone fruits. Try it with this recipe for Warm Potato & Mussel Salad.
Éric Chevalier
France | Loire | Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu
At first, it is streamlined, saline, and full of lemon. Then the granite terroir kicks in...
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Bone dry and perfectly chiseled, this zesty Petites Roches blanc will serve you well alongside a wide range of seafood from raw oysters to seared scallops to grilled sea bass.
Éric Chevalier
France | Loire | Vin de Pays du Val de Loire
Some wines deliver well beyond expectations—this is one of them.
Champalou
France | Loire | Vouvray
The most serious and age-worthy of Champalou’s dry wines, it has a depth and richness of flavor that allow it to shine alongside refined cuisine.
Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire | Vin de France
Thierry Germain France | Loire | Saumur
Thierry Germain
France | Loire | Saumur
This blanc is chiseled and electric and boasts notes of citrus, herbs, and stones that would beautifully complement pan-fried sea bass or shrimp tacos.
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
The Clisson’s expressive wet-stone and saline qualities summoned memories of the seaside and lavish oyster-accompanied aperitifs, while its long palate conjured a comparison to never-ending meals.
Éric Chevalier
France | Loire | Vin de Pays du Val de Loire
It feels luscious and exotic yet incredibly lively, like if a papaya got struck by lightning.
Château d’Épiré
France | Loire | Savennières
Electrically vibrant yet succulent, this glorious Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile wines I know, sippable on its own or widely food-friendly—no forethought is necessary except for chilling the bottle.
Thierry Germain
France | Loire | Saumur
This chiseled Chenin Blanc comes from 70-year-old vines planted on an ancient limestone slope. Burgundian-like in character from its time spent in barrel, the laser-like acidity will become even more enticing with some age.
Thierry Germain France | Loire | Saumur

Domaine Michel Brégeon

Grand cru Muscadet: an intensely mineral white with aging potential.

Hippolyte Reverdy
France | Loire | Sancerre
The rarest of the Reverdy cuvées, Ortus was really an invention at the urging of Kermit, who has a fondness for Sauvignon with full malolactic fermentation, aged in wood, bottled unfiltered, generally treated like a white Burgundy.
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
When you smell it, keep in mind that no other wine, besides a Melon de Bourgogne grown in the gabbro soil of Gorges, could possibly smell like this one does.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
The singularity and beauty of Chenin Blanc really shines with a bit of age, which is what makes this wine so special to enjoy now.
Thierry Germain
France | Loire | Saumur
This downright Burgundian wine shows off the savory spine and weightless concentration imparted by this particular site.
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet
Dynamic and supremely minerally (grown in ancient submarine volcanic soil), this is the perfect oyster/crustacean accompaniment.
