This 100% Chenin, vinified by direct pressing and aged for 8 months in buried sandstone vats, reflects a natural philosophy, without fining or filtration, to preserve all the purity of the grape and the expression of the terroir.
A fresh and saline tasting experience
To the eye, this wine reveals a clear and luminous color, with slightly golden highlights. The nose is aromatic and refined, with tangy notes of lemon, green apple, and a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it seduces with its vibrant freshness, marked minerality, and a saline finish reminiscent of sea spray. Its lively and light texture makes it an ideal companion for convivial moments. Served between 8 and 10°C, it is best enjoyed young to fully appreciate its energy and purity.
A seafood companion

Bistrologie, the energy of fruit in limestone
From vines grown on clay-limestone soils, this 100% Chenin blanc cuvée offers a frank and gourmet expression of the grape variety. After direct pressing, the wine is aged for one year in barrels that have already contained several wines. This neutral container allows slow oxygenation without woody influence, for a pure and crystalline result.
Candied fruits, minerality, and tension
The nose evokes ripe apricot, quince, white flowers, and a hint of dry honey. On the palate, the attack is fresh and tense, then the wine rounds out with a lovely volume carried by candied white fruits. The balance between the liveliness and the natural richness of the Chenin is expertly managed. The mineral, slightly saline finish extends the pleasure with elegance.
Food pairings & serving: both festive and gastronomic
Bistrologie can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with meals, alongside delicate fish, white meats, or even vegetarian dishes with sweet and savory notes. Serve between 10 and 12°C, without decanting. This natural cuvée can be drunk today, but will also age gracefully for over 10 years.

Charme, between chalk, herbs, and citrus
From a probably chalky terroir (unspecified but felt during tasting), this Chenin blanc cuvée reveals a profile of great freshness, taut with minerality and punctuated by fine herbal notes. Direct pressing helps preserve the integrity of the fruit, then the wine is aged for a year in barrels that have contained several wines, for gentle oxygenation without any woody input.
A dry and saline white wine with an herbaceous nose
The nose is precise and expressive, balancing ripe citrus, white flowers, and herbaceous touches reminiscent of crushed leaves or dry herbal teas. On the palate, the structure is direct, lively, marked by chalky minerality and a beautiful salinity. White peach blends in subtly. A vibrant, long, and uncompromising wine.
Pairings & serving: culinary vivacity
Ideal with seafood or vegetarian cuisine: grilled fish, ceviche, lemon chicken, herb risotto. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C, without decanting. This natural wine has the energy to age ten years or more, gaining mineral depth without losing its vivacity.

Lumière de Silex, a Chenin on schist
This cuvée comes from plots planted on schist soils in the Anjou appellation, an ideal terroir for Chenin blanc. Direct pressing allows for a clear expression of the fruit, without extractions or masking. The wine is then aged for one year in barrels that have already contained several wines, to oxygenate without overpowering.
Fullness, tension, iodized length
Lumière de Silex unfolds gracefully: the nose opens with white flowers, peach, and a hint of exotic fruit. On the palate, the attack is ample, round, with a generous texture, balanced by a mineral tension that stretches the finish. This finish, iodized and persistent, evokes rock and salt, and calls for a second glass.
At the table: finesse and depth
Perfect with soft cheeses, grilled or sauced fish, or white meats. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C. This natural wine can be enjoyed young, for its freshness and fruit, or kept for over ten years to reveal its tertiary complexity and verticality.

My Sweet Navine White 2013
A small bottle but a great wine! A sweet white made from 100% Chenin, My Sweet Navine is produced from late harvests on the schist plot where the estate's other Chenins are also grown. A delicate amber color, with notes of citrus and candied fruit on the nose. On the palate, there is a surprising freshness despite the residual sugar: this is explained by the lack of sorting, as the grapes are at varying stages of ripeness. We thus benefit from green berries, ripe berries, and varying degrees of noble rot. and a light sparkle which gives way to a beautiful length, always with notes of candied fruit.

Désirée Blanc 2007,
La Grapperie
La Désirée, classified as a Vin de France, is a dry white wine made from 100% organic and natural Chenin, cultivated and vinified by Renaud Guettier of the La Grapperie estate in the Coteaux du Loir region (Loire Valley).
Cultivation and Vinification
The Chenin grapes, aged between fifty and one hundred and fifteen years, grow on flint-clay soils on a limestone base at an altitude of 100 m. The grapes are pressed directly, and all the liquids are processed by gravity. The wine is aged for twenty-four months on lees in barrels in cellars dug out of the tuffeau stone.
Tasting and pairings
La Désirée is a wine that lives up to its name: you undress it with your eyes, it seduces with its nose of bitter almond, prolonged in the mouth by tenderly buttery notes, touches of white fruits and nuts, counterbalanced by a very clear acidity. This charming wine needs charming pairings: smoked fish, caviar, fresh or smoked scallops, or even fine oysters.
Learn more about Renaud Guettier and La Grapperie
In the Coteaux du Loir appellation, La Grapperie is the name of the estate of Renaud Guettier, who can be described as a master of Chenin, but also of Pineau d'Aunis, which is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Loire Valley.
The estate
Renaud's 60 hectares of vines, on the hillside, are protected from the north winds by the Bercé forest. Depending on the altitude, the terroirs are predominantly clay, flint, or sand. The grape varieties are the two traditionally authorized in the appellation: Chenin for the whites and Pineau d'Aunis for 90% of the reds, the rest consisting of a few ares of Côt, Gamay and Grolleau. Some vines are more than a hundred years old.
Methods in the vineyard and in the winery
The entire estate is cultivated organically. The soils are worked and all viticultural interventions are manual, including the harvest, carried out at full maturity, which is reflected in the fullness and smoothness of the wines. For the reds, the Pineau d'Aunis is partially destemmed (depending on the plot) and the macerations are quite long, three to four weeks, with punching down, to promote aging potential. The wines are aged in barrels for between twelve and twenty-four months, then racked, blended and bottled without filtration. For the whites, the Chenins are pressed directly at low pressure then put into barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, for at least eighteen months, malolactic included, and sometimes up to thirty-six months.
Jeannette White 2015,
Damien Bureau
