Raphael Midoir

Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc and sparkling Crémant producer.

Raphael Midoir works the Loire Valley, where cool-climate conditions shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic clarity. The winery's Sauvignon Blancs reflect the region's signature style—bright, herbaceous, with the keen acidity that defines the appellation. La Plaine des Cailloux Touraine Oisly Blanc demonstrates this profile, a wine that carries the Loire's hallmark tension between fruit and structure. The Crémant de Loire Brut, built from Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, shows the sparkling tradition of the region, where chalky soils and cool nights produce wines of finesse rather than weight. A Gamay Touraine rounds the portfolio, offering the lighter red character typical of the Loire's eastern reaches.
