Cette cuvée doit son nom au cépage qui la constitue : le grolleau (ou groslot), un cépage minoritaire mais historique de l’Anjou qui donne des vins peu tanniques avec beaucoup de fruits et de générosité. Un vin à la robe rouge assez soutenue qui présente un nez sur des notes mûres de fruits rouges. A partager entre amis !

Domaine Pithon-Paillé
Vin de France
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2017 guide) 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2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, associated with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since left for Roussillon, but have been replaced by Jules and Tania - are you following?), this young domaine is making a stunning entry among the Loire's leading addresses.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), organically cultivated and vinified by Jo Pithon himself, is backed by an attractive trading structure, set up with partner winegrowers who mainly work 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 rated (2017 guide) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and 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 particularly powerful, especially the exceptional Coteaux des Treilles.
