This cuvée owes its name to the grape variety it's made from: grolleau (or groslot), a minority but historic grape variety in Anjou that produces wines with little tannin, lots of fruit and generosity. A wine with a deep red color and a nose of ripe red fruit. To share with friends!

Domaine Pithon-Paillé
Vin de France
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2017) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Created in 2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, associated with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since left for Roussillon, but have been replaced by Jules and Tania - are you following?), this young domaine is making a stunning entry among the Loire's leading addresses. The 13-hectare vineyard (including 11 hectares of chenin), grown organically and vinified by Jo Pithon himself, is backed up by an attractive trading structure, set up with partner winegrowers who work mainly organically. Jo Pithon has established itself as one of the great names in white Anjou.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2017) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and that, as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Following the sale of their vineyard to Philippe Fournier (at Domaine FL), Jo and Isabelle Pithon set up this negoce in 2008 with Isabelle's son Joseph Paillé and his wife Wendy, a South African sommelier. They have 7 hectares of their own organic vineyards, and vinify and mature Chenin and Cabernet Franc grapes from different Loire terroirs. In this successful Loire marriage of the fine spirit of vins de soif and some great cuvées de terroir, the whites are rising to prominence, in particular the exceptional Coteaux des Treilles.
