"A bright and elegant wine—a superb example!"

Produced in the Vouvray appellation, Baudoin is a lovely, complex dry white wine with undeniable aromatic finesse, opening with floral and fruity notes and a subtle hint of acacia honey. Well-balanced on the palate, it reveals beautiful aromatic intensity. A white wine of the highest quality!

Wine rated (2027 guide) 93/100

Rated estate (2026 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

François Chidaine, one of the leaders of the Montlouis wine revival, brings out all the nuances of each vineyard plot—ranging from flint-rich clay to white Tuffeau chalk—using biodynamic farming methods. Having revitalized about ten hectares of Vouvray vineyards on the opposite bank, this winemaker—who is strongly supported by his wife, Manuela—now also relies on his children, Alice and Pierre, who have joined the estate. These great wines for fine dining improve with age.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the estate:

Since his debut in 1989, François Chidaine has become a major player in the world of Loire whites, an unparalleled winemaker now revered by many other vintners. He is among those who put Montlouis—his original stronghold—on the map. In the early 2000s, he expanded his operations in Vouvray, notably by acquiring Clos Baudoin from the Poniatowski family. With the help of his wife, Manuéla, François has continuously refined his winemaking and aging techniques, carrying out meticulous work in vineyards that have been certified biodynamic since 1999. We cannot praise highly enough the caliber achieved by the wines of this exceptional winemaker. The “Vins de France” are, in fact, Vouvray wines that, because they are vinified outside their appellation zone, cannot bear the appellation name. The lineup consists of blends from various plots (Choisilles, Argiles, Tuffeaux, Moelleux) and single-vineyard wines (Clos du Breuil, Les Bournais, Clos Habert, Baudoin). The sparkling fruitiness of these wines requires a few years in the cellar to open up and fully reveal itself. An essential estate for any lover of the great Chenin expressions from the Loire Valley. The transition to his children, Pierre and Alice, is proceeding smoothly.
