Christophe and Martine Réthoré’s domaine lies on the rolling hills of the Loire Valley`s Pays des Mauges, located between Muscadet to the west and Anjou to the east. The freshness and purity of their 2023 Parcelles Chardonnay liken it to a light-bodied, super-lively style of Mâcon. Pale, lemon-gold, aromas are delicately floral, with notes of fresh nectarine and lemon. This is a thirst quenching, finely textured, unoaked Chardonnay, with a pure, racy finish.
“I cannot think of another global Chardonnay that comes close to this wine’s poise, elegance, and accuracy, apart from Yering Station The Elms Chardonnay, which I don’t think has rolled onto the 2023 vintage (the Waitrose website is notoriously inaccurate). The Elms is the Aussie version of Parcelles! Brilliant, impressive, clean, and refreshing, Parcelles is a spectacular ‘house white’ for all eventualities.”

Rethoré Davy
The beautifully run vineyards of this 42-hectare estate are planted on the rolling hills of the Pays des Mauges - the broken metamorphic rock lying between Muscadet to the west and the Coteaux du Layon and the Anjou to the east. Set up in 1959 by Christophe Réthoré and Jean-Michel Davy`s parents, and now run by Christophe and his wife Martine, the domaine has grown and evolved into an incredibly carefully thought-out estate. Benefitting from the lack of a regional AOC, all their vines are run to produce IGPs, so they can mix and match varieties to soil types as they please - running the whole to the Terra Vitis charter for sustainable viticulture.
