A blend of different parcels on schist and limestone soils, Mozaïk Rouge is a truly enjoyable wine. The delicate, rich fruitiness of Cabernet Franc develops beautifully both in the glass and on the palate. A convivial wine par excellence!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Created in 2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, in partnership with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since moved to Roussillon, but been replaced by Jules and Tania—are you following?), this young estate has made a sensational debut among the Loire Valley's leading addresses. The 13 hectares of vineyards (including 11 hectares of Chenin), cultivated organically and vinified by Jo Pithon himself, are backed by a handsome wine trading structure, set up with partner winegrowers who work mainly organically. Jo Pithon is thus establishing himself as one of the great names in white Anjou.

Wine rating (2014 guide) 87/100 (2012 vintage) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2017 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
After selling their vineyard to Philippe Fournier (at Domaine FL), Jo and Isabelle Pithon created this wine merchant business in 2008 with Joseph Paillé, Isabelle's son, and Wendy, Joseph's wife, a South African sommelier. They have 7 hectares of their own organic vineyards, where they vinify and age Chenin and Cabernet Franc grapes from different terroirs in the Loire Valley. In this successful Loire Valley blend of light, easy-drinking wines and a few great terroir-driven vintages, the whites are gaining in popularity, particularly the exceptional Coteaux des Treilles.

Review and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 03/01/2017
First bottle drunk in December 2016: good to very good, very tight texture, very straightforward wine with definite potential, typical Cabernet Franc. Wait a little longer.

Review and opinion by Mr. PATRICE K. Published on 11/14/2016
Very disappointed; slightly sharp and vinegary taste. Either the bottle is faulty or the wine is mediocre. To be continued...
