100% chenin blanc vinified dry. "Domaine Belargus owns 10 haout of the 40 that are classified Grand Cru in the Loire and known as Quarts-de-Chaume. Ivan Massonnat is applying in Anjou Noir, the same principles that make Burgundy so consistently thrilling. Single plots, old vines, low yields, long elevage, and minimum intervention. With only 25 hectolitres/ha produced from the low yielding single plots, the wines have a deep soul and enough finesse to make some of the great Burgundy wines blush. Belargus was birthed out of the wine estate of Jo Pithon, a legend in the Anjou, but reinvigorated by a man named Ivan Massonat who also owns part of Philippe Pacalet in Burgundy. When Ivan purchased the estate, he set about to create a crack team to produce a stable of virtual Grand Cru wines in the Anjou.The style is precise and focussed on terroir transparency and complexity. 2018 is the inaugural vintage for Belargus, incidentally a magnificent vintage for the entire region."-importers notes
