Alexandre Giquel works his Vouvray vineyards with horses and organic principles, fermenting Chenin Blancs in old barrels with natural yeasts in a troglodyte cellar carved into the tuffeau limestone. The 2023 vintage blends clay-silex and gravelly clay soils into a balanced, structured white that rewards patient exploration—slightly honeyed, off-dry character with bright acidity, integrated volatile acidity, and mineral undertones. This is Vouvray in its most honest expression—neither overly sweet nor bone-dry, but thoughtfully balanced and vibrant.

More about Alexandre Giquel

Alexandre Giquel is one of the few Loire winemakers farm without tractors—he uses horses. Based in Noizay with just over 3 hectares, he released his first Vouvray in 2017 and immediately started turning heads. He works old vines (some over 90 years old) organically and without shortcuts, and his natural wine philosophy means wild fermentation, minimal sulfites, and real terroir expression. This is pure Chenin Blanc made by someone who actually listens to the land.

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.
