Complices de Loire
Complices de Loire works the Middle Loire's Touraine district, where Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc thrive on slate and clay soils. The winery's portfolio centers on two red wines from the region's signature appellations: Les Castines Bourgueil and Les Terroirs Célestes Saumur-Champigny, both built from Cabernet Franc. These wines have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Advocate. A white counterpoint arrives in Pointe de Silex Vouvray, a Chenin Blanc that captures the Loire's mineral precision. The winery's name—Complices, or accomplices—suggests a collaborative approach to the terroir-driven wines of this historic valley, where cool-climate conditions and limestone-rich substrates shape wines of structure and aromatic clarity.
