Staff Pick Notes

A beautiful example of Anjou Blanc. Pascal and his son Charles Eusebe, pay a lot of attention to the terroir where they source the grapes. The vineyards lay beautifully just next to an old Roman road. This wine is 100% Chenin Blanc and it shows the classic qualities of the grape. On the palate this Anjou Blanc is full bodied with citrus notes, yellow apple, pear, and apricot flavors with the typical delicious honey finish. In addition, a crisp minerality makes this wine very intriguing. I would pair it with soft cheeses or grilled meat. Intense and delicious!

Then, when phylloxera wiped out most of these plantings, the area was replanted with a large proportion of Cabernet Franc, as well as smaller plots of Grolleau, Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay. Today, Anjou is most famous...

Chenin Blanc

A versatile grape that is grown worldwide, but is most commonly associated with the Loire, California, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. It produces just about any type of wine you can think of: ageworthy dessert wines; delicious, honeyed dry whites; sparklers; and even bases for fortified wines and spirits. These days, one of the most exciting stories is in South Africa, where newly adopted winemaking technologies have helped a dedicated group of producers to bring the country's dry...
