"Bonnes Blanches 2013 is far superior, endowed with the energetic framework of schist, coupled with the sharp profile of the vintage: an excellent, invigorating white." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF). Tension and freshness for this 2013 vintage.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, associated with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since left for Roussillon, but have been replaced by Jules and Tania - are you following?), this young domaine is making a stunning entry among the Loire's leading addresses.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), 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.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

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 wine:

Bonnes Blanches 2013 is far superior, endowed with the energetic framework of schist, coupled with the sharp profile of the vintage: an excellent, invigorating white.

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.
