Val de Loire 'Le Talent d'Achille' Chardonnay, Domaine Guénault 2023
White Wine from France - Loire
The under-£10 star of our Wine Champions chardonnay line-up, this ‘stood out like a beacon.` The Loire might not be the spot you`d think of for great-value chardonnay, but this showed that it can give the region`s more famous sauvignon blanc a run for its money! Delightful, fresh, appley and with a food-friendly buttery hint on the finish.

Bougrier
Maison Bougrier is a successful family-owned négociant company in the Loire founded in 1885 now run by the fifth generation of Bougriers. The company has significant domaine and winery holdings in three major areas: Touraine, Anjou and Muscadet giving it full control over vineyards, grapes and production in a number of sites.
The Touraine area produces whites from both chenin blanc and sauvignon blanc grape varieties. Bougrier’s premium white from Touraine is made from 100% sauvignon blanc grapes and was originally labelled for us as The Society’s Touraine Sauvignon, now sold under the Les Hauts Lieux label.
Domaine Guénault is one of the family’s own properties and situated on steep slopes overlooking the Cher river, which gives the grapes excellent sun exposure. The sauvignon here is grassy and scented and a popular choice as an aperitif.
