Gault & Millau

“Here is a dry, very dry Anjou. Its intense, citrus-filled flavors leave a lasting impression on the palate. The firm, straightforward texture holds its own thanks to a distinct aging profile that lingers on the finish. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). An elegant and refined white wine, with a silky texture and a delicate balance. Beautiful acidity and light body create a lovely mineral tension in the finish... A real treat!

Taut, lively, and briny, this fine dry white Anjou wine has great potential.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rated 14.5/20 (Good)

About the wine:

Here is a dry—very dry—Anjou. Its bold, citrus-forward flavors leave a lasting impression on the palate. The firm, structured texture holds its own, thanks to a distinct aging profile that lingers on the finish.
