But there's much more to this wine than its festive personality. François Chidaine is one of the Loire Valley's most celebrated winemakers, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture who helped transform Montlouis-sur-Loire into a destination for world-class Chenin Blanc. Since establishing his domaine in 1989, he has earned a remarkable reputation for wines that express their origins with purity, elegance, and precision.

His 2023 Brut is made from 100% Chenin Blanc using the same traditional bottle-fermentation method employed in Champagne. It spends at least a year aging on its lees, developing beautiful texture and fine bubbles. With absolutely no added sugar at disgorgement, it's wonderfully dry, crisp, and refreshing.

Expect fresh pear, green apple, quince, white flowers, and a lovely mineral finish. It's sophisticated enough to impress serious Champagne lovers, yet so wonderfully approachable that you'll want to pour another glass.

From the first holiday toast to the last appetizer of the evening, this is the bottle we love having on hand. It's a natural alongside oysters & smoked salmon, lox and Loire Brut for Brunch? Mais oui!

One of our team's favorite sparkling wines, from one of France's most respected producers under $30? We can’t wait to pop the next cork.
