Georges Vernay was in his time known as the "Pope of Condrieu", resurrecting this appellation which counted only 7 ha in 1960 (nearly 200 ha today). Since 1997, his daughter Christine has continued his work step by step with the creation of new vintages (Les Terrasses de l'Empire, Maison Rouge, Blonde du Seigneur...) for a better parcel management and the conversion of the whole vineyard to biodynamic farming.

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2023): 95/100 “Everything is complex and at the same time simple in this wine. The elegance of the aromas on the nose form a delicate, sensitive whole, and the charm of the palate is underpinned by a texture of delicate salinity and a temperance of juicy fruit. Nothing protrudes from this well-balanced Condrieu".

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!
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “In Vouvray, Les Argiles unfurls a more explosive, textured and salivating material, while offering an extremely seductive fatness.”
La Revue du Vin de France (February 2024): 93/100 “Les Argiles seduces with its restrained power, tone and burst of fruit”.

Les Choisilles, a blend of different parcels, is more rounded and full-bodied, with notes of white peach.

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.”
This is the domain which, by its passage into biodynamic viticulture and its parcel selections, shows the most beautiful qualitative progression of the Loire Valley. Crystalline Chenins and ripe Cabernet Franc, all matured with mastery to sublimate the purity and identity of the juices, between tension, crispness, refinement and generosity. In white as in red, a dazzling and flawless range.

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 92/100 "Don't mess with the 2021 Saumur blanc L'Échelier: it's got attitude–flirty, floral and transparent, with the purity of a glacier. 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."

Ripe and tropical yet saline with notes of almond meal, it's already beginning to develop. The 2020 rampages to retain its freshness despite the exotic fruit."

The 2018 vintage in the press :
Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 92/100 « The 2018 Saumur blanc L'Échelier is dry, round, nutty and tropical. It was a very warm vintage, giving richness and ripe pineapple character. A racy acidity holds this wine together like tight reins. There's a contrast here between that tropicality and the zingy, crunchy acidity, which messes with your head. »
