Domaine de Juchepie
Anjou
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Eddy Oosterlinck-Bracke, with his slender moustache and tenor voice, indulges his passion for great sweet wines with his wife Mileine. A Belgian hardware merchant in his youth, he felt it his duty, he says, to make wine... The call of the vineyard came in 2001, with 8 hectares (out of a potential 22 hectares) in Coteaux-du-Layon-Faye and Anjou, all cultivated under certified biodynamic methods since 2007. Rich and complex, the liquoreux wines are a benchmark for the appellation, with rich barrel ageing that gives the wines their body and enables them to stand the test of time. A great place to stop and add to your cellar!
