This delightful 100% Chardonnay offers fresh notes of citrus and white-fleshed fruits (peach). On the palate, this Urfé white strikes a perfect balance between lively acidity and a lovely, full-bodied texture. A wine to be enjoyed, ideal as an aperitif or paired with grilled fish.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Romain Payre has become one of the leading advocates of Gamay from the Côte Roannaise, where he has been excelling for several vintages now on his 21-hectare estate. The flagship wine is best enjoyed for its youthful fruitiness. The Clos Du Puy and Intégrale wines, which are suitable for moderate aging, are made from vines over 80 years old. This is a highly recommended and reliable estate, regardless of the wine.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Romain Paire, who has been working alongside his parents Georges and Denise since 2005, took over this long-established family estate in 2017. Founded in 1610 in the town of Villemontais, in the southern part of the appellation, the estate has been in the family for generations. Operated as a mixed farming and livestock operation (beef cattle), the estate—which comprises 23 hectares of vineyards—has been managed using organic and biodynamic methods since 2010. One of the (very) reliable choices in the Côte-Roannaise appellation.

Rated wine (2018 guide) 14/20 (2016 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Georges Paire, who came from a family of farmers, began planting his vineyard in the 1970s. In 2005, his son Romain joined him, and planting continued; the winemaking facilities were modernized, and the estate transitioned to organic farming. Today, the estate maintains a small herd of Limousin cows. We appreciate these refined and authentic wines: a modern and dynamic embodiment of the appellation.
