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.

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!

The 2020 vintage in the press :
Vinous (R. Gibb - June 2022): 90/100 "The 2020 Clos du Breuil shows a wonderfully plump center, and while it is rich, it doesn't become heavy. There's no doubting the concentration, though. There's plenty of alcohol in this wine adding to the overall weight."

Les Bournais, the cellar's tightest wine, also boasts surprising length.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (February 2024): 94/100 “Cumin, aniseed and fresh pear in this full-bodied, ample wine with chiseled, solar ripeness: it is precise and saline, still restrained, with great ageing potential.”
Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024): 92/100 “I can't imagine there's anyone who wouldn't wante ton drink the 2022 Montlouis Les Bournais. It's a hands-off, carefully crafted Chenin. Grown on clay-limestone soils, the result is elegant and tender with a lovely chalky line on the drawn-out finish. Considering the drought and heat of the 2022 season, it's a credit that it retains fresh pear fruit and floral notes alongside mouthwatering acidity. Hints of lees-derived nutty pastry join the fruit flavors.”

Clos Habert is a ''half sweet'' wine (11.9 g/L residual sugar), with fleshy fruit (Williams pear), a smooth palate and elegant freshness.
The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (February 2024): 93/100 “a luminous, tender white, harmonious in its buried richness.”
Vinous (R. Gibb - May 2024): 90/100 "The 2020 Montlouis Clos Habert is an off-dry Chenin Blanc with the ripeness and richness of the vintage showing through. Pear and nectarine fruit edge into almost exotic notes and lees-derived pastry characters."

The Germains didn't do any malolactic despite the natural acidity of this vintage. This is an acid fiend's wine, but it's ripe phenolics give real firmness, like a fierce girl. Melon and apple flavors linger on the very pure and strict conclusion."

In its precise and tense youth, this aromatically restrained wine offers subtle florals, quince and less-derived notes, but it needs time to unfurl, relax and blossom.”
La Revue du Vin de France (J. Cukierman - April 2024): 96-97/100 “A dry and straight wine, but very charming in its aromatic palette with fresh almond and lemon bergamot [...] It offers great tension, a very pure structure and takes us into its marine and iodized universe”.
La Revue du Vin de France (A. Goujard - April 2024): 95/100 “It evokes fresh almond and pineapple. Invigorating aromatic vitality. Chiseled substance on the palate, a magnificent flowing, intense texture. The fatness builds slowly to an extremely salivating finish. Luminous !”

The finest of chalk-like tannins covers the mouth in a blanket of finely-pixelated image, which can no doubt be attributed to this limestone-rich, north-facing site as well as a very delicate hand when it comes to extraction. Being 2021, there's no shortage of acidity, but it is entirely integrated within the wine, providing a thread of tension that courses through its core, leaving everything tied up on the precise finish.

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - Master of Wine - December 2023): 94/100 “Made from vines planted on clay-limestone in 1904, Les Mémoires 2021 is fragrant, refined and long. It displays rich concentration in an elegant, rather delicate whole. As expected with a wine of this age, it's young and bright, with aromas of red currant fruit, flowers, black olive and even a hint of smoky wood. There's definitely depth and tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The finish is refined and assured, with a shimmering acidity that gives it a fabulous backbone. Apogee 2024-2038.”
Since 2019, Jeanne Germain has been following in her father's footsteps, producing a micro-cuvée of 'natural' Cabernet Franc: working the soil with animal traction, organic and biodynamic vineyard management, gentle extractions and no added sulfur. A crisp wine, "with serene and sincere fruit and a delightful finish" for the Revue du Vin de France.
Quietly since his arrival at the head of the 11 ha of the family estate in the 90s, Vincent Gaudry has traced his path in search of the most precise and distinctive aromatic expressions of the grape variety and the terroir. His whites, with their aniseed tones (fennel), are vibrant and stimulating, while his reds have a delicate fullness that makes them noble. Radiant wines that do not give in to the fashion of modern Sancerre, too exotic and plump to be sincere.
Promoted two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.
The entry-level Le Tournebride is a blend of 3 parcels of flint, clay-limestone and caillottes (limestone chips). Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes, fatter and richer, comes from a clay-limestone hillside while Constellation du Scorpion, more complex and marked by flint, has a tense, long and salivating finish.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “Let's go up a few steps with Tournebride, blending caillottes, flint and clay-limestone in a spirited, extremely seductive sancerre, between tenderness, fatness, delicacy and energy.”
La Revue du Vin de France (April 2024): 93/100 “Wonderful interpretation of Sauvignon. This cuvée, which blends grapes grown on clay-limestone, flint and pebbles, sets the tone for Vincent Gaudry's range of energetic, fleshy, delicate wines. An irresistible fruity tenderness punctuated by a lovely finish. Delicious.”
Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - July 2024): 92/100 “The Tournebride 2022 is like diving into a hot bath. It's certainly round and ripe, in keeping with the season, but it's also elegant, refined and balanced. A blend of Sancerre's three terroirs, it offers a little of everything. The 2022 is not flashy, but it is seductive and charming. It's drinking very well now with its ripe, fruity red apple finish, and I dare you not to like it.”
