Anjou Blanc Sec, Cuvée a Francois(e), 2023

From the finest parcels of the exceptionally stony soils of Les Gâts, this cuvée is made exclusively from free-run juice. One third was raised in large foudres, the remainder in 500-litre barrels, a portion of which were new. The nose is fragrant with apple blossom and white peach. The palate is rounder and more juicy than the straight Anjou, with a firm blade of acidity keeping everything nicely poised.
