Menu Pineau — also known as Arbois or Orbois — is a Loir-et-Cher native that has all but vanished, and Christian Venier is one of the very few people still bottling it on its own. Because the Cheverny appellation is built around Sauvignon Blanc, a varietal Menu Pineau has to go out as Vin de France, which tells you a lot about the rules and nothing about the wine. Venier farms around seven hectares near Cande-sur-Beuvron organically and without certification, ferments with native yeast, and adds next to no sulfur; he is a cousin of the Puzelats and took up natural winemaking alongside Thierry around 1990. The grape ripens late and holds onto its acidity, which is why this drinks as a textural dry white rather than a simple aperitif. 2025 was hot and early in the Loire, and the whites came in with a good balance of ripeness and freshness.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, goat cheese, pork rillettes, or a leek tart. Very good with fried fish and lemon.

Tasting Profile

Dry, with citrus and bright orchard fruit and a broader, more textural palate than you would expect. Firm acidity, a light grip, clean savory finish.
