Certified HVE3*. From one of the highest acid grapes on planet earth, Gros Plant! (a.k.a. Folle Blanche). This amazing wine is sourced from 40 year old vines planted in the mica-schist soils of the Pays Nantais where the Loire river spills into the Atlantic ocean. Bone-dry with crisp acids and pure minerality, this is one of the purest, raciest shellfish partners of the world.
*The French Ministry of Agriculture developed the Haute Valeur Environnementale or HVE certification in 2001, a three-tiered system that encourages farms and vineyards to focus on increasing biodiversity, decreasing the negative environmental impact of their phyto-sanitary strategy (i.e. measures for the control of plant diseases, reducing the use of pesticides and fungicides), managing their fertilizer inputs, and improving water management. Once an operation has attained the third and most stringent level of the certification process, it is deemed worthy of the title “Haute Valeur Environnementale” or HVE.
Folle Blanche is a white grape variety best known for its role in producing brandies, particularly Cognac and Armagnac, as well as the crisp, refreshing wines of the Pays Nantais region in France. Historically one of the principal grapes used in Cognac, it was largely replaced by Ugni Blanc after phylloxera devastated French vineyards in the 19th century. However, Folle Blanche remains prized for its high acidity and delicate floral and fruity aromas, which include notes of apple, pear, and citrus. This acidity makes it ideal for distillation, as it yields a clean, crisp spirit with a refined palate. Wines made from Folle Blanche are typically light-bodied and vibrant, offering a fresh and lively drinking experience. Its resilience and unique flavor profile have kept it relevant in both the world of wine and spirits, showcasing its adaptability and enduring appeal.

Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.
