Alexandre Giquel's Chenin Blancs are liquid proof that less is more. Alexandre is one of the few vignerons within the Loire Valley to farm his vines entirely without tractors - he uses horses instead. The vines are only sprayed with herbal teas that Alexandre sprays by hand via a backpack, and the Chenin Blanc vines are about 90 years old. A heady combination of stones, apples and citrus zest swarm about.
  • Alexandre Giquel is a Loire Valley native.
  • He tends to 3-hectares of vines that grow on a mixture of clay and silex - a rich, flint-based soil.
  • All vines are certified organic.

Pairs with:

  • A velvet blazer.
  • Holiday feasts.
  • Breaking out the good china.
