2025 Louise Chéreau (Vices & Vertus) ‘Colère’ Folle Blanche, Loire Valley, France

$23.00

This is a pre-order item expected to arrive late June 2026.

The folle blanche grape, indigenous to France’s west coast, is principally known for eau de vie production, but is also grown near Nantes to be a racy shellfish pairing, compatible and contrasting with the more well-known Muscadet wines made from melon de bourgogne. Colère which translates to ‘anger’, referencing the ocean’s profound effect on the wine, is a crisp, saline, citrusy, and low-alcohol white wine that is undeniably expressive of sea spray. While maintaining the depth and character that Louise’s vinifications are known for,  Colère is a zesty, bright, and light-hearted aperitif that belongs near freshly-caught seafood and sunny days.

Vinification – Estate grapes are harvested and direct-pressed. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel without malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged on the lees for six months, and then bottled unfined and lightly filtered.
