A very fine cuvée of chenin, pure and aromatic!
Guide Hachette 2008 1 Star, Gilbert & Gaillard 86/100This is the estate's classic white cuvée. A Dry AnjouThis 100% Chenin wine comes from beautifully exposed hillsides overlooking the Layon river. Here, 60-year-old vines naturally limit yields, allowing optimal concentration of the berries, hand-picked in two passes. Vinification is meticulous, in oak barrels, with ageing on fine lees for 6 months. A pure white to discover, where Chenin expresses itself with aromatic precision!

About the domain :
Situated in a microclimate exceptionally favorable to the development of noble rot, Fesles is to Bonnezeaux what Yquem is to Sautemais: the memory of the cru and the guardian of a full-bodied, racy style of chenin. Today, Bernard Germain's team, following in the footsteps of pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre, maintains the tradition while developing the range of dry whites, Fesles' new challenge.
