Domaine Belargus : Veau 2022

An ample and beautifully precise dry white wine from the Loire

The estate
In 2018, Ivan Massonnat, a wine enthusiast deeply attached to the Loire terroir, took over the reins of Domaine Pithon-Paillé, founded by Jo Pithon. Now known as Domaine Belargus, this Anjou vineyard today extends over 24 hectares, farmed entirely biodynamically. The estate's approach revolves around showcasing its terroirs through single-parcel cuvées from meticulously selected crus, lieux-dits and monopoles. Each wine celebrates the authentic expression of chenin blanc, the flagship grape variety of the Loire region.

The vineyard
The "Veau" cuvée is a white wine from Anjou sourced from one of the three parcels mentioned in the original decree establishing the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation. West-facing, the vines take root in a schistous soil that gives this wine an uncommon minerality and remarkable ageing potential.

Blend
This Veau 2022 from Domaine Belargus is crafted from 100% chenin blanc.
