Clos de Nouys Vouvray Sec AOP

Clos de Nouys is an estate of about twenty hectares planted on the Vouvray appellation, managed by François Chainier. It is made up of vines that are on average 35 years old.

Already listed in the geological maps of 1907, it is one of the oldest wine estates of the AOC: its wines were served on board the Normandie liner in 1936 and on the most beautiful tables in the world. Its plots of vines were already noted among the best.

This 100% Chenin Blanc is grown on clay-limestone soils on the north bank of the Loire, on the hillsides of Vouvray.

Domaine de Fiervaux Les Écobues Chenin Saumur Blanc

The Domaine de Fiervaux was born from a family farm established in Saumurois with 4ha of vines, and taken over in 1890 by Henri Maitreau. 40 years later, his son Jules succeeded him, constantly improving the vineyard. In 1960, Georges Cousin and his wife Juliette Maitreau, daughter of Jules, took over the reins and developed the estate, hence the origin of the name Cousin-Maitreau, developing the vineyard from 8 ha to 28 ha with the planting of several grape varieties in order to create a wide range.

Klippenkop Chenin Blanc

Located in the town and region of Robertson, Klippenkop is one of the most famous wineries in South Africa. The estate got established in 1941 as a venture and endeavour when several families came together with the same aim and objective in the district of Cape Winelands. The winery derives its name from two separate terms- “klippen” and “kop.” The former is a topographical or geographical term that refers to a rock’s outcrop. On the other hand, the latter is a word that means head or hillock in the African language.

An appealing full-bodied wine with good structure with lovely balancing acidity.

L’Avenir Single Block Chenin Blanc

Paying homage to the famed terroir of Stellenbosch’s historic wine region, L’Avenir was only founded in 1992 by Mauritius native Marc Wiehe.

Produced from a vineyard that was planted in 1971, L’Avenir Estate’s single vineyard Chenin Parcel selection in the vineyard and cellar, combined with minimum intervention winemaking results in a true masterpiece. This beautifully poised Chenin has lots of similarity with classic white Burgundy – a refined core, layers, freshness and a touch of appealing gunflint. As the estate says, “Authentic South African wines, with a touch of French flair.”
