A blend of grapes from various plots on schist and limestone soils, Mozaïk Rouge is a truly delightful wine. The delicate, rich fruitiness of Cabernet Franc unfolds beautifully both in the glass and on the palate. A truly convivial wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2017 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Founded in 2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, in partnership with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since moved to Roussillon but have been replaced by Jules and Tania—are you following?), this young winery is making a sensational debut among the Loire Valley’s leading estates. Alongside its 13 hectares of vineyards (including 11 hectares of Chenin), cultivated organically and vinified by Jo Pithon himself, is a well-established wine trading operation, set up with partner winemakers who work primarily using organic methods. Jo Pithon has thus established itself as one of the leading names in white Anjou.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated Estate (2017 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
After selling their vineyard to Philippe Fournier (at Domaine FL), Jo and Isabelle Pithon founded this wine merchant in 2008 with Joseph Paillé, Isabelle’s son, and his wife Wendy, a South African sommelier. They own 7 hectares of organic vineyards and produce and age Chenin and Cabernet Franc grapes from various terroirs in the Loire Valley. In this successful blend of the Loire’s refreshing, easy-drinking wines and a few great terroir-driven cuvées, the whites are gaining prominence, particularly the exceptional Coteaux des Treilles.
