Fabien Duveau - Saumur, Loire Valley
2025 is only just underway, yet we have had our first exciting discovery of the year. This is the first time that the wines of Fabien Duveau have entered Australia, and they land with surprisingly modest pricing considering the quality. We have just tasted through the range and thoroughly enjoyed what we were presented with. For those (like us) who seem to be drinking more and more Chenin Blanc these days, this is another producer to put on your radar.

Black tea, river silt, crumbly brown earth with an overlay of seductive blue fruit. The medium bodied nature of this wine, coupled with it's slurpy texture and fine tannin, make it at once approachable yet elegant and classy.
