2024 Le Fief Noir Anjou Blanc L’Echapee

A white wine from the Anjou Noir region of the Loire Valley, produced under the 'Les Candides' cuvée line. Made from Chenin Blanc grown on the region's distinctive schist-based 'noir' soils, which impart characteristic minerality and freshness to the wine. The grapes are manually harvested to preserve their aromas and integrity. The wine showcases the unique terroir of Anjou Blanc, expressing the depth and potential of Chenin Blanc cultivated in these mineral-rich soils, marked by high acidity and chalky minerality typical of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Aromas suggest yellow peaches, orange zest, Blenheim apricot, quince paste, green pear, fresh pineapple, and white peach, with peppery notes. Round, juicy and fresh with a savory, bright palate, crushed stones and citrus zest on the finish. Marked by riveting freshness and luminous character, capturing the power and finesse of Anjou's mineral-rich noir soils.
