Meet the producer
Complices de Loire is a collaborative venture between François-Xavier Barc and Gérald Vallée, both rooted in the Loire Valley. François-Xavier brings expertise from Chinon and Saint-Emilion, while Gérald manages his family estate, Domaine de la Cotelleraie, in Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil. Together, they focus on producing terroir-driven wines that express the freshness and elegance of the Loire Valley.
Production
Hand-harvested Chenin Blanc grapes are gently pressed and aged in old French oak barrels for a minimum of six months. This method adds subtle complexity while preserving the freshness and natural acidity of the variety.
Tasting notes
The nose shows floral acacia notes with hints of fresh grapefruit and lemon. On the palate, the wine is fresh, rounded, and citrus-driven, complemented by soft touches of glazed peach and apricot for a harmonious finish.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with seafood, light fish dishes, goat cheese, or as an elegant aperitif.
