93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Since his debut in 1989, Francois Chidaine has become a major player in Loire whites, an outstanding stylist now revered by many other winegrowers. He is one of those who revealed Montlouis, his original stronghold... Les Argiles 2019 seduces with its softness of texture, full of vitality with beautiful invigorating bitterness. (2022)"

91 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "The 2019 Argiles is made from a blend of parcels hailing from the clay-chalk soils of Vouvray. Because the wine is vinified in Chidaine's cellars in Montlouis it cannot be called Vouvray. A blend of different parcels, fermented separately and then blended, the wine displays a ripe expression of peach and pineapple fruit as well as high notes of white flowers. There's richness here in terms of fruit weight and concentration. A hint of sweetness is counterbalanced by plentiful acidity that pierces this wine's core. The conclusion is gently phenolic, offering a frame for the wine to sit on the finish. Drink: 2021-2030. (Mar 2021)"
