Florent Cosme cut his teeth managing vines for Vincent Careme before striking out on his own, and his tiny Vouvray estate sits on the steepest, rockiest stretch of the Premiere Cote above the village of Noizay. Champs Rougets is a single-vineyard, bone-dry Chenin Blanc from old vines, farmed biodynamically and coaxed along with native yeasts, no malolactic, and a rest in older barrels. That means all the electric acidity and stony precision Chenin does best, with none of the sweetness people wrongly assume from Vouvray. It's a dry white with cut, tension, and years of life ahead. One to convert the Vouvray skeptics.

"Fruity and ethereal, the 2023 Vouvray Sec Champs Rougets reveals aromas of apple, pear, white peach and spring flowers mingled with delicate citrus notes. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy, sappy and enveloping, it has a fine core of fruit, underpinned by elegant acidity and culminating in a gourmand, penetrating finish. Matured in stainless steel, it is crafted from vines rooted in clay-limestone soils." —Yohan Castaing

More about Florent Cosme

Florent Cosme took over old-vine parcels on the Première Côte of Vouvray in 2010, working them biodynamically while finishing oenology school and eventually departing from Vincent Carême's operation to focus on his own four hectares. His 100% Chenin Blancs—fermented with indigenous yeasts, never malolactic—are proof that Vouvray's future is bright.

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.
