Draped in an attractive pale yellow color, this Anjou expresses delicate aromas of green apple and exotic fruit on the nose. Both tender and lively on the palate, this wine has a lovely minerality and great finesse. Supple and delicious, it's an immediate pleasure!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (guide 2017) Selected (A domain or a house that has seduced us with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)

About the domain :

Demanding and fastidious, Loïc Mahé takes great care to respect the balance of flora and fauna in his vineyard, which has been certified organic since 2008. He created this vineyard from scratch in 2000, starting with a small piece of land in Savennières, with no vines at the time! With the takeover of the Château La Franchaie vineyard in 2011, he now cultivates almost 11 hectares of vines, including a good heritage of vines in Savennières.

Domain Noted Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

Having settled in Anjou ten years ago, Loïc Mahé has gradually expanded a vineyard that remains on a human scale (5 ha). The aim of this young biodynamist is to express the soaked, whole character of the roads around Sainte-Gemmes. After a period when the wines were certainly sincere but rough, the vintages are gaining in precision, even if the ageing still has room for improvement.
