Folle Blanche is a classic white grape variety closely associated with the Loire Valley, especially in the coastal areas where the climate helps keep the fruit fresh and vibrant. It’s a variety that’s loved for its ability to stay crisp, offering wines that often feel light to medium-bodied, with a clean, refreshing character.

When vinified as a still wine, Folle Blanche is typically known for gentle flavours of orchard fruit, delicate citrus notes and a slightly floral lift. Depending on the producer and how the wine is made, you may also find hints of stone fruit and subtle minerality, giving it a pleasant sense of balance rather than heaviness.

One of the reasons this grape remains such a favourite is its versatility. It can work beautifully in traditional styles, but it’s also capable of producing wines with a more expressive, texture-led profile when handled with care. It pairs particularly well with dishes that enjoy a bright, natural acidity, such as seafood, creamy sauces, salads with tangy dressings, and light poultry meals.

If you’re exploring the Grapes range, Folle Blanche is a brilliant choice for anyone wanting a distinctive Loire-inspired white with character and everyday drinkability.
