About the Estate:
Situated 12 kms (7.5 miles) away from Nantes, within a triangle between the Atlantic Ocean, the Loire River and the Lake of GrandLieu. Created in 1864, the estate has been run by the CHOBLET Family for five generations. Son Jerome Choblet is now fully handling the estate and vinification, and do impressively deliver the expression of his vines within this prestigious and reputed Muscadet Côtes de GrandLieu Appellation (dating back 1994). While using up to date technologies to allow separated vinification and expression of the richness and diversity of each precise “terroir” and parcel, the CHOBLET Family pays particular attention to and respects the environment. The full vineyard is cultivated using Sustainable Agriculture
Practices since 1980…and now, certified TERRA VITIS. They are also the only Loire estate certified IFS Food V6, a recognized GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) food standard for auditing food manufacturers on food (or wines) safety and the quality of processes, and also... the only independent French wine producer with 98.06/100 classification & superior level! The diversity of the Domaine des Herbauges soils and sub soils is clearly developed and optimized in 8 different Cuvées, each one showing and expressing very precisely the aromas and characteristics of the specific blending or “terroir” they come from. Le Chant Baron - coming from a single plot - is vinified on purpose to offer a crisp, mineral, so aromatic and lively daily pleasure, leading to a bracing finish. Another great Jerome CHOBLET Signature & value.
Tasting Notes:
Lively, mouthwatering and so crisp nose, on white flowers, grapefruit, and so unique mineral accents, reflecting the Atlantic Ocean’s proximity. So fresh,,
crisp and mineral palate, with minty, citrusy notes and light saltiness on the length.
Food Pairing:
As an aperitif, with oysters, shellfish, mussels, avocado with crab & shrimp, salmon & grapefruits’ salad, fresh goat’s cheese.
Press Review:
«Taut and crisply textured, this wine has a touch of pepper as well as the brightest citrus flavors. Its acidity and fruitiness are already delicious and the wine is ready to drink” R.Voss - 90 Pts Wine Enthusiast Jqn. 20’

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
