Domaine de Juchepie - Anjou Le Clos de Juchepie 2014 (sec)
16/20
Bettane & Desseauve
"Ciselé, filant, this Chenin displays a subtle sharpness. It is a ground swell, very mineral, with fine bitter notes." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2018) Grown on plots with a layer of fine clay, the Chenin - very close to the rock - reveals this rare extra minerality.

About wine:
Crisp and lively, this Chenin displays a subtle sharpness. It is a powerful wine, very mineral, with delicate bitter notes.
About the estate:
With his tapered mustache and tenor voice, Eddy Oosterlinck-Bracke and his wife Mileine indulge their passion for great sweet wines. A Belgian hardware store owner in his younger days, he felt compelled, he says, 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 are the benchmark for the appellation, with fairly rich barrel aging that gives the wines their substance and allows them to age well. A great place to stop and stock up your cellar!

Note and opinion by Mr. DOMINIQUE D. Published on 04/15/2018
A pleasant surprise, unexpected for a white Anjou. Full-bodied, rich and with a bouquet of aromas that is rich on the palate. I will buy it again when I get the chance. Tasted blind with friends, alongside six other whites, it won!
