12/18/2016 0 Comments François Chidaine 2015HEY FELLOW WINE-LOVERS! DID YOU MISS US? We know you did but fortunately, we're back with a brand new wine tasted and approved ! We know the waiting has been long since last week so no more talk, let's discover this fresh French white wine (not easy to say, don't you agree?)! ID Card: Name: François Chidaine Vintage: 2015 ABV: 13% Location: France, Loire Grape variety: Sauvignon Average price: 8.50€ Can be found at: La Cave Insolite (Loire, France), online, Le Comptoir (Bordeaux, France). Advices: Enjoy the freshness of this white wine with your friends, when eating something greasy like a raclette, tartiflette or a fondue. Yeah, you know, all this type of plates for which you don't count calories... We must say, it's not the healthiest choice but who doesn't dream about this kind of fatty, but still so delicate for your palate, food while drinking a fresh white wine as is François Chidaine 2015? Tasting Notes: Nose: We smelled peach, white fruits and citrus fruit. Such aromas are typical of a Sauvignon so there was no surprise but who needs to be surprised when these aromas are so well developed? Taste: finally comes the time to taste the wine! This wine has a certain bitterness in mouth that we didn't expect at all, but nothing unpleasant. While drinking, you can feel floral aromas, you know, as if you were sleeping in a field of fresh flowers (is it too much?). There's also a great sucrosity and the finale is not so long but long enough to feel that the wine is a good one. Some interesting notes about the production: The vineyard is grown biodynamically since 1999. The harvest is done by hand. François Chidaine is a major actor for Loire white wines.
