On the palate, juicy white peach and lime unfold with vibrant acidity, reflecting the limestone soils that give Anjou Blanc its precision and lift. A flinty, mouth-coating mineral texture drawn from darker schist parcels adds depth and structure, creating a beautifully balanced interplay between freshness and richness. Chenin Blanc’s natural acidity drives the wine’s energy, while subtle honeyed notes soften the edges without diminishing its tension. The finish is tangy, mineral, and persistent, offering a composite portrait of Anjou’s contrasting terroirs in a single, harmonious expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1750\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e92 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Gilman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003eWinemaker's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"2476\"\u003ePascal Biotteau represents the fourth generation of his family to farm in Saint-Jean-de-Mauvrets, where vineyards sit precisely along the seam dividing Anjou’s limestone and schist soils.
