Red wines from Loire: the selection of the “World”

Anjou

Fesles Castle, 2017

A simple and friendly wine that we are happy to discover, especially when we see its price: a real bargain! Well crafted, its material is full, harmonious and perfectly in place. € 9. Phone. : 02-41-68-94-08.

Domaine de La Petite Roche, “L’Angevin”, 2018

Very well, under beautiful finery due in particular to a classy aging, this wine reveals its greediness, both fluid and consistent. A long finish that reveals all its depth. € 13.50. Domainepetiteroche.com

Château de Plaisance, “Sur la Butte”, 2019

Very young, this wine offers the roundness of its age. But it is also anchored and deep thanks to its remarkable locality which gives it distinctive flavors. A product of its soil, therefore, and a beautiful anjou, with notably very elegant spicy notes. In biodynamics since 2008. € 14.80. chateaudeplaisance.com

Les Terres Blanches, “Anjou Démon”, 2019

First, we smell a little vanilla, then, very quickly, the flavors are multiple, sparkling, harmonious. Round and silky finish, on ripe fruity notes, of an irresistible delicacy. A crush on this little demon! € 14. Phone. : 06-18-73-30-80.

Terra Vita Vinum, anjou-gamay, “Song of the stone”, 2019

Available today, this pure Gamay “fruit juice” wine is made to reveal tenderness and tasty flavors. Notes of cherry and spices dominate a beautiful structure. A bias that we like or not. A divisive wine, which does not prevent it from being well done. Organic. € 17.50. Terravitavinum.fr

Domaine Patrick Baudouin, “Les Coteaux d’Ardenay”, 2016

A wine so salivating that it should be unanimous among the guests. This emblematic estate of its appellation still produces highly evident organic wines, and this is indeed the case here. Immediate, it is based on deep and long mineral notes. Organic. € 18.50. Patrick-baudouin.com

Clau de Nell, 2017

Created by the Burgundian Anne-Claude Leflaive, and continued by her husband and her children after his death, this estate presents a sumptuous, vertical and mineral wine. A pure Cabernet Franc, produced in biodynamics, which shows itself in its most sensual light, with vanilla nuances. A wine cut to keep, to decant. € 28. Claudenell.fr

Anjou-villages

Sagesse des soils, “La Forge Tranquille”, 2018

A superb, lively and dynamic wine. Suddenly, here is one more crush in this appellation which is strong. We fall for this caressing and multiple wine. Especially since the price is low. € 9. Phone. : 02-41-59-65-73.
