Tasting Notes

Combining the fresh acidity of the “Anjou Blanc” limestone with the flinty, mouth-coating richness of the “Anjou Noir,” this wine offers a beautiful composite picture of Anjou as a whole, with honeyed notes of apricot giving way to a tangy mineral finish. Fresh lemon blossom and honey nose, with juicy white peach, lime, and slate on the palate. Beware of serving it too cold, though, or you’ll miss out on some of its subtleties.

About the Producer

Fourth-generation grower Pascal Biotteau, working alongside his son Charles-Eusèbe, farms a large but carefully managed estate in Anjou with a clear focus on Chenin Blanc and site expression. Their vineyards in Saint-Jean-de-Mauvrets sit on the seam between Anjou’s limestone soils to the west and darker schist to the east, a boundary that shapes the estate’s balanced, mineral-driven style. The family approaches viticulture with close attention to soil and restraint in the cellar, aiming to let texture, acidity, and structure emerge naturally rather than imposing a house signature. Rooted in land first documented in the sixteenth century, the domaine’s wines reflect a long local history and a consistent emphasis on clarity, freshness, and the nuanced interplay between Anjou’s contrasting terroirs.
