La Folie de Pierre Chardonnay 2014
Think wines of the Loire and you probably think Sauvignon Blanc but there is so much more to this classic region. Chardonnay is made here in a style that reflects the coolish climate and chalk rich soils. This 2014 is bright with appley citrus charm.

The Story Behind the Bottle
La Folie de Pierre is the creation of Pierre Sauvion, a fourth generation Loire winemaker. His uncle owned the celebrated Chteau du Clray in Muscadet where Pierre remains head winemaker. Having studied at Bordeaux University in oenology and worked in Australia and California, Pierre is the epitome of the modern, forward thinking French winemaker whose approach shines through in the contemporary style of his wines. Pierre makes La Folie for his own enjoyment - so you know it's going to be particularly special. He sources grapes from Touraine and Haut Poitou to strike the balance of complexity, freshness and ripe fruit he's after. Enjoy with hot smoked salmon or a warm butternut squash and goat's cheese salad.
