The 2024 Topette Chenin Blanc is a sustainably farmed Loire Valley white from Touraine — fermented and aged on lees in stainless steel — with quince, ripe melon, acacia blossom, and a clean, mineral-driven finish that is effortlessly food-friendly. Négociant Pierre Chainier built the Topette project around paying premium prices to a small group of growers and making honest, bistro-ready Loire wines that are nearly impossible to find at this price — "Topette" being local Loire slang for "see you later," which is exactly what you'll say to the bottle. Pair with oysters, goat cheese, roast chicken, or a long Tuesday night.
