Bone-dry and brisk, with crisp green apple, pear and grapefruit, a lift of fresh herbs and white flowers, and a chalky edge. Quietly complex and lively, it finishes clean, pure and refreshing.

Close100% Chenin Blanc
Food pairings: Oysters and other seafood, goat cheeses, lightly spiced dishes, or on its own as an aperitif.
Winemaking: The grapes are pressed very gently, and the wine spends a short time in stainless steel before it is bottled in the spring after harvest.
Vineyards and terroir: La Dilettante comes from Chenin Blanc vines about 40 years old on flinty clay soils in Vouvray, farmed biodynamically.
Family and history: La Dilettante is Catherine Breton's own Vouvray project. Catherine and Pierre Breton farm organically from Restigné, east of Bourgueil, producing Bourgueil, Chinon and Vouvray, and are widely associated with the natural-wine movement while remaining rooted in classic Loire appellations.
