Domaine de Juchepie - Anjou Le Clos de Juchepie 2014 (sec)
16/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“Refined and elegant, this Chenin displays a subtle edge. It is a deep, very mineral wine with delicate bitter notes.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2018) Grown on plots with a layer of fine clay, the Chenin—which is in very close contact with the rock—reveals this rare extra touch of minerality.

About the wine:
Refined and elegant, this Chenin displays a subtle edge. It has a deep, mineral-driven profile with delicate bitter notes.
About the estate:
With his slender mustache and tenor voice, Eddy Oosterlinck-Bracke indulges his passion for great sweet wines alongside his wife, Mileine. A Belgian hardware store owner in his younger days, he felt—as he puts it—a calling to make wine... The call of the vineyard became a reality in 2001, with 8 hectares (out of a potential 22 hectares) in Coteaux-du-Layon-Faye and Anjou, all cultivated using certified biodynamic methods since 2007. Rich and complex, the sweet wines serve as benchmarks for the appellation, with fairly extensive barrel aging that gives the wines their body and allows them to age well over the years. A wonderful place to stop by to stock up your wine cellar!
