A "Blanc de Noir" 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 clay-flint soil, this rather special Chinon fully expresses the terroir’s minerality and character.

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommended production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Established since 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 top picks; they offer the wines with the strongest tannic structure and the greatest aging potential.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
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 son-in-law Sylvain. A sure bet in the Chinon region.
