Wow! Truely different than other Loire Chenin's. Dry or off-dry? It differs every vintage but 2011 was more on the dry side. Deep, rich, energy & lightning bolts, marvellous ending. Great wine with a 'vin nature' complexity that I would like to find in every bottle that is made this way. From a plot where Mark Angeli used to make moulleux wines before (partly in the Bonnezeaux appelation). Classic example of biodynamics. When Angeli started in 1990 he converted to this way of working straight away. No monoculture here. 4ha out of the 12ha is used for other purposes than winemaking. All this is indicated by the name of the estate: not a winery but a farm.
