"An aromatic evolution towards honey and quince for this full-bodied, vigorous white wine, whose sunny intensity gradually fades to reveal a mineral and vigorous character. It appears to have reached maturity." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Energy, balance on the palate, and maturity are the keys to this wine's success.
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in 2008 by Isabelle and Jo Pithon, in partnership with Joseph and Wendy Paillé (who have since moved to Roussillon, but been replaced by Jules and Tania—are you following?), this young estate has made a sensational debut among the Loire Valley's leading addresses.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.

About wine:
This full-bodied, vigorous white wine develops aromas of honey and quince, with its sunny intensity gradually fading to reveal a vigorous, mineral character. It appears to have reached maturity.
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.
