Mark Angéli is a former mason turned winemaker, who purchased this estate in Thouarcé in 1989.

A touch off-dry, this is a rare and unique expression of one of the world's greatest varieties. Pair with mapo tofu.

Chenin Blanc

A versatile grape that is grown worldwide, but is most commonly associated with the Loire, California, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand.
