Ludovic Chanson, from his first bottles released as a young upstart winemaker, has been proving himself year in year out in Montlouis. Entering the wine world in 2009, having left a career in pharmaceutical research, this scientist was bitten by the vine bug during time spent with Vincent Carême and Damien Délécheneau (of the Domaine La Grange Tiphaine). He’d buy 8.5 hectares to start out, but soon decided to cutback. Today, he only cultivates 5 hectares of vines, planted with Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pineau d’Aunis and Gamay, all of which was already farmed organically before he acquired them. Ludovic is supported in his qualitative research by a former sommelier from Osaka named Fumihiko – a formidable duo! When Decanter Magazine organised a large-scale horizontal tasting of Chenin from all over the Loire, who was ranked first for the 2015 vintage? Ludovic Chanson... We’re sure you’ll agree, hurry and get him in your cellar!
Minimal sulphites
A soft Chenin, with 20 grams of residual sugar and notes of white fruits and spices... Palate: this is fine juice, with lovely acidity maintaining the overall balance... A luscious wine, for the Chenin lovers... and everyone else, because this is just too good!
Minimal sulphites
Fine and powerful, with notes of quince, white flowers, citrus fruit, yellow apple, and almonds in the shell... A dry wine in this vintage, but still that beautiful acidity, plus lovely bitter notes, and monumental length. A Chenin for gastronomy, crafted for food pairings.
Minimal sulphites
This is an opulent white aperitif wine with notes of ripe fruit... Palate: this is rich, luscious juice, a wine that brings to mind Alexandre Bain for its generous, ripe profile. Ludo is all rigour with his Chenin, but it’s playtime when it comes to his other grape varieties.
Minimal sulphites
A dry Chenin, with notes of white fruits, citrus, honey, a hint of spices... Palate: a refined wine, powerful, rich and delicate, with moderate tension... An aperitif Chenin par excellence.
Minimal sulphites
Rigodon is the name of a dance that is practiced from Quebec to Provence and the North of France... So a festive and federating wine, a tense and very fresh white which could make you think of a very very good Muscadet if it was a blind tasting!
Minimal sulphites
Nose with notes of white fruits, in-your-face minerality, a floral touch. Palate: an elegant sparkling wine, with a slightly bitter finish, the name of this cuvée is obviously a reference to Champagne!
Minimal sulphites
Fine bubbles, ultra aromatic with notes of white fruits (pear, apple and white peach), honey, and brioche... A luscious palate, with freshness, minerality, and a long finish with a hint of citrus – a beautiful expression of this grape variety.
Minimal sulphites
Chardonnay with opulence on citrus notes... Palate: rich, indulgent juice, with a profile that’s neither classic nor boring. Ludovic is all about precision with his Chenins, but with other varieties, it’s about striking the right balance with plenty of indulgence!
