White dry
A dry white wine from the Vouvray appellation in the Loire Valley, showcasing the characteristic expression of ‘Chenin Blanc’. “Domaine Denis Meunier Expression de Silex 2025” stands out for its freshness, vibrant acidity and mineral character.
The nose reveals notes of pear, yellow apple, citrus zest and white flowers, complemented by wet stone and subtle hints of honey. The palate is fresh, fruit-driven and precise, with lively acidity and mineral tension. The long finish retains citrus notes and a pleasant, subtle citrus bitterness.
The wine is made from ‘Chenin Blanc’ grapes grown in the Vouvray appellation, where clay and limestone soils, in some places enriched with flint, contribute to the wine’s structure and mineral expression.
Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit aromas and freshness. Ageing on the lees adds roundness and texture to the wine.
It is recommended to serve it chilled to a temperature of 10–12 °C. It pairs perfectly with fresh seafood, white fish dishes, goat cheese, and lean poultry.
Domaine Denis Meunier is a family-run winery in the Vouvray appellation, located around Vernou-sur-Brenne and Chançay, in the very heart of the Loire Valley. The estate has nearly a century of history behind it — the winery was founded back in 1927, and today it is led by third-generation winemaker Denis Meunier.
The winery specialises exclusively in the Chenin Blanc grape and in classic Vouvray-style wines — ranging from dry ("sec") to off-dry, sweet, and sparkling. Domaine Denis Meunier's philosophy is built on respect for terroir, natural acidity balance, and an exceptionally clean wine style. Denis Meunier himself devotes great attention to traditional winemaking and to capturing the most precise expression of the soil in the glass.
The vineyards lie on clay, limestone, and flint (silex) soils characteristic of the Vouvray region. It is precisely these soils that give the wines their minerality, freshness, and subtle smoky notes. Some of the vines are very old — several are more than 60 years of age — so the wines display concentration and structure while retaining an elegant Loire balance.
The winery favours a minimalist approach to winemaking — fermentation usually takes place in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the fruitiness, acidity, and terroir character of Chenin Blanc. Many of the wines are aged on the lees, while the sparkling Vouvray is made by the traditional method, with the wine kept in contact with the lees in the bottle for a long period.
Domaine Denis Meunier's wines are valued for their classic Vouvray expression — vibrant acidity, aromas of apple, pear, and citrus, and expressive minerality. It is a style oriented more towards terroir precision and longevity than towards excessive ripeness or oak dominance.
