Domaine Belargus - Anjou Blanc 'Ronceray' 2022

The Anjou Ronceray provides plentiful substance and richness in Chenin Blanc style.

Coming from a terroir producing world-renowned sweet wines, the Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru and Chaume 1 er cru appellations also give birth to great dry wines. The Ronceray cuvée refers to the Abbey of the same name, which used to own the Chaume vineyard from the 11th century. The complex geology of this terroir creates a mineral and powerful cuvée, with long ageing potential.

The 2022 Ronceray is derived from vines planted on the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation but vinified as dry white wine. It reveals a complex, deep bouquet with aromas of almonds, white flowers, orchard fruits and white pepper combined with a reductive character. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and satiny, it has a deep core of fruit that segues into a tense, gently austere finish. It's matured in foudres and 500-liter barrels. 90-92 points, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate.
