Domaine François Chidaine - Left Bank - Sweet 2020
Domaine François Chidaine is located in Montlouis-sur-Loire , in the Loire Valley . The vineyard covers 37 hectares; 20 hectares of Montlouis and 10 hectares of Vouvray . The vines are divided into around fifty plots which have been organically grown since 1992 and certified biodynamic since 1999. The remaining 7 hectares produce wines under the Touraine appellation.
