Didier and Catherine Champalou built their Vouvray estate from scratch in 1983 and have become one of the most dependable names in the appellation, with daughter Celine now part of the operation. This dry Vouvray is their flagship: 100 percent Chenin Blanc, aged in stainless steel to keep it fresh and direct, from vines farmed sustainably with attention to the lunar calendar and biodiversity between the rows. It threads the line Vouvray does so well, stony minerality on one side, almost honeyed fruit on the other. A reliable, honest white that works as an aperitif or across a whole dinner. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
