"This charming Loire white is a pleasure to share!
An original blend combining the fruitiness of Chardonnay and the freshness of Tressallier. This white seduces with its citrus and white fruit flavors. Its mineral structure gradually reveals itself during tasting, making this a superb cuvée at an attractive price.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2024) 89/100 (Vintage 2022)
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Taking over part of his uncle's vineyard, young Florent Barichard vinified his first vintage in 2013. With his partner Éric Nesson, they carry out serious plot-based work. Indigenous yeasts and ageing in concrete vats give birth to ripe, fresh, dynamic whites that are helping to renew the local landscape. Prohibited in the Saint-Pourçain appellation, grape varieties vinified on their own are classified as Vin de France.
