Chinon, Chante le Vent

The Billard family are poetic: this lovely white Chenin Blanc is named after the winds that sing around the hillsides of the Noblaie estate and “shape its personality.” The wine opens with floral and fruity notes of lime blossom, grapefruit and citrus. With vibrant energy and lively acidity, it is fresh and spicy, with a pleasant saline touch on the palate. Aged in stainless steel on protective fine lees for six to eight months, it retains a beautiful mineral purity on the finish. Very elegant.

Drink from 2026 till 2030

The story

Château

Domaine de La Noblaie

There is a magical history at Noblaie. Legend has it the parcel of vines, still called “Les Blancs Manteaux” was where white knights collected taxes to finance their crusades to the Holy Land and the house dates back to the 15h century. A stone vat from the same period is still used to vinify the “Pierre de Tuf” or Tuffeau Rock cuvée. If you climb up to the Chiens-Chiens vineyard (I still haven’t got the etymology for this parcel) you can gaze across the river to the Château de Chinon where Joan of Arc asked the French king, Charles VII, if she could lead his army on a holy campaign.
