Domaine de Bellivière - Franc de Pied 2009 (dry)

Domaine de Bellivière - Franc de Pied 2009 (sec)

The Franc de Pied cuvée is a wine made from 4-year-old vines planted ungrafted (without rootstock), which already offered greater complexity than typical young vines. With its well-ripened fruit, this dry, full-bodied white wine exhibits a deeper minerality. It can be enjoyed a few hours after opening but will continue to evolve over the next ten years or so...

Rated estate (2027 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

In the mid-1990s, Éric and Christine Nicolas were the first to rekindle the faded flame of the wines of the Sarthe. Their wines demonstrate the immense potential of these understated terroirs: elite biodynamic viticulture and natural yet meticulous winemaking. The Coteaux-du-Loir “Vieilles Vignes Éparses” perfectly illustrates the elegantly austere character of these wines, which develop an extraordinary saline quality after a few years. “Calligramme,” made from vines over 70 years old, ranges from dry to off-dry depending on the vintage—a masterpiece that every lover of great Loire whites must have in their cellar. The reds from Pineau d’Aunis rank among the finest. Clément Nicolas, the son of Christine and Éric, took over the reins in 2021, alongside his wife Laure-Anne. Long live Bellivière!
