Domaine François CHIDAINE
Baudoin dry white

It is François Chidaine who, since 1989, has sounded the awakening of Touraine wines and given the white Chenin its letters of nobility. Biodynamic since 1999, his wines show a crystalline purity and a vibrancy that are a reference... with prices that are just as exemplary.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

The Vouvray wines of Domaine Chidaine (Les Argiles, Baudoin) are hidden under the appellation Vin de France. They can no longer claim the Vouvray appellation since 2011 because they are vinified at the estate in Montlouis-sur-Loire (i.e. on the other side of the bridge over the Loire) and not in the commune of Vouvray. The INAO has reasons that reason does not know!
