An Anjou Chenin Blanc from Belargus. Mineral and tense, with white flowers, citrus and honey. Precise, vibrant and very elegant.
Anjou Ronceray 2023 Belargus is a fine dry Loire white wine made from 100 percent Chenin Blanc, signed by one of the most ambitious domaines in Anjou Noir. With Belargus, Ivan Massonnat pursues a parcel-by-parcel and very high-end reading of Angevin terroirs, in an approach inspired by Burgundian climates. The cuvée Ronceray comes from an assemblage of plots located on the ridge of Quarts-de-Chaume, on soils blending schist and pudding stone, a terroir that gives the wine its tension, depth and that fine noble bitterness typical of the area. The domaine works in biodynamics and is devoted exclusively to Chenin, with remarkable rigour in the pursuit of purity and precision.
In the glass, Anjou Ronceray 2023 seduces with a profile at once ample and incisive, where white fruits, flowers, ripe citrus and stone mingle. The palate is poised, vibrant, carried by sharp minerality, refined matter and a long, saline finish, slightly bitter, that underlines all the nobility of the terroir. This is a gastronomic Anjou white, built to accompany fine fish, shellfish, creamed poultry or aged cheeses. Already very seductive in its youth after aeration, it also holds good cellaring potential, which will allow it to gain further complexity.
