Le Petit Chemin (The Little Path) is Benoît Courault's entry-level Chenin Blanc—and one of the Loire's best values in natural wine. From younger vines than his top cuvées, this delivers the hallmarks of Courault's style: organically farmed fruit, indigenous yeast fermentation, minimal sulfur, and irresistible drinkability. It's meant to be enjoyed young, with or without food. The essence of everyday natural wine: pure, refreshing, and dangerously easy to finish.

More about Benoit Courault

Benoit Courault practiced biodynamics and horse-plowing before most people knew what those words meant. After three years at Domaine de L'Anglore in Tavel, he bought a 6-hectare estate in Faye d'Anjou with his wife and committed to biodynamic farming on schist soil. His La Grande Maille—old-vine Cabernet Franc—ferments naturally and ages in barrel without racking. It's Loire wildness, properly handled.
