Vignobles Chéneau

Vignobles Chéneau works with Melon de Bourgogne in the Loire Valley, the grape's ancestral home. The winery's portfolio centers on Muscadet, the region's signature expression of this variety—wines that gain complexity through sur lie aging, where they rest on their sediment. Le Grand Fief Muscadet, Chateau de Beau Soleil Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie, and Chateau de la Cormerais Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie form the core range. These are wines built on the mineral precision and subtle salinity that define the best of the Loire's coastal terroir. Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast have rated the portfolio, with Le Grand Fief reaching 90 points on the prestige scale. Melon de Bourgogne in skilled hands yields wines of restraint and depth—neither heavy nor thin, but calibrated to food and conversation.
