Francois Chidaine makes extremely noteworthy wines and has been universally adored, aped, and threatened for making wines that are consistently too good. (I hope to be able to tell you the story behind his mysterious non-Vouvray one day but that’s a story for another time).
It was Francois who helped train another Nicholas favorite – Vincent Ricard – who largely followed Francois’s road map of making the best wine possible – no matter what the old villagers thought or how much hard work it would be.
Competing quite easily with many Sancerre at double the price, the Chidaine Clos de la Grange Touraine Sauvignon 2019 is complex far beyond its modest price point. Notes of citrus, peach pit on the nose, with alternating layers of acid and mineral tones upon tasting.
A truly impressive wine for the price point – and luckily our previous work with the very top producers in the Touraine had us one step ahead of the critics once again! If you’re still looking for a house white to buy by the case – here’s my pick.

One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.

“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
