Les Athletes du Vin VdF Chardonnay 2024 PET-NAT brown butter and lemon zestLes Athletes du Vin is a negociant project from the Loire's natural wine collective Vini be Good, pooling organically farmed fruit from a roster of seriously good growers into honest, value driven bottlings (the cheeky Michel Tolmer label art is a tell). This Chardonnay is a fresh, unfussy take on the grape: clean stone fruit and citrus, no oak getting in the way, just easy Loire drinking. A weeknight white that punches above its weight.
