2023 Anjou Blanc Wine | Domaine de la Bergerie Sous La Tonnelle Collection

Domaine de la Bergerie Anjou Blanc 2023 | Old Vine Chenin Blanc | Loire Valley Excellence

Experience the distinct character of Domaine de la Bergerie’s meticulously crafted 2023 Anjou Blanc. Sourced exclusively from venerable, 50+ year-old Chenin Blanc vines within the prestigious Coteaux du Layon appellation of France’s Loire Valley, this wine showcases exceptional concentration and minerality inherent to ancient roots.

Defying expectations, this dry Loire Valley white wine offers a compelling narrative. While the grapes hail from the renowned sweet wine terroir of Coteaux du Layon, our winemaker’s commitment to a fully dry vinification results in its classification as Anjou Blanc. This deliberate choice highlights the grape’s vibrant acidity and complex structure, setting it apart from sweeter regional counterparts.

The artisanal winemaking elevates its profile:
* Extended lees aging for 12 months in seasoned 400L barrels imparts subtle texture and nuanced complexity.
* A subsequent two-month rest in stainless steel tanks ensures freshness and precision before bottling.
* The outcome is a beautifully balanced aged French white wine at 13% ABV – rich yet vibrant, textured yet crisp.

Expect a captivating dry Chenin Blanc brimming with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, hints of honeycomb, and distinctive flinty undertones. On the palate, discover layers of quince, pear, and citrus zest, framed by bright acidity and a lingering, mineral-driven finish. This old vine Chenin Blanc possesses remarkable depth and age-worthiness.

Perfectly suited for pairing with seafood dishes like grilled scallops or lobster bisque, roasted poultry, or creamy goat cheeses. Discover why this unique expression of Anjou Blanc wine represents outstanding value and typicity from a passionate Loire Valley producer.
