A white wine from the Loire Valley, this 100% Cabernet Franc features salmon-pink hues and aromas of white flowers. On the palate, it is smooth and creamy, with soft notes of white peach. Grown on a soil of clay and flint, this rather special Chinon fully expresses the minerality and character of its terroir.

Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Established in 1981 on part of the family estate in Cravant-les-Coteaux, Pierre Sourdais cultivates his 27 hectares of vineyards using organic farming methods, with vineyards located both on the plains and on the hillsides. The Réserve-Stanislas and Les-Boulaies vintages are the ones to seek out first; they produce the wines with the richest tannic structure and the greatest aging potential.

About the estate:
It was at Moulin-à-Tan that oak bark was once ground for use in tanning hides at the region’s many tanneries. Today, the old mill has given way to a 27-hectare organic vineyard run by Pierre Sourdais, who is gradually passing the business on to his daughter Caroline and his son-in-law Sylvain. A trusted name in the Chinon region.
