  White wine

It comes from a micro plot of 0.67 hectares within the old Bonnes Blanches vineyards, sand and clay on shale. Very low yield, less than 20 hl/ha, maturation in small barrels for 12 months

Splendid nose of yellow pulp fruit, Golden Apples, Lime and White Pepper, marked minerality

Fresh and savoury, consistent on the palate where the hints of fruit on the nose return insistent and delicate, spicy and very long

Serving temperature 14°-16°

Pumpkin tortelli Mantovana style, ricotta ravioli sautéed with butter and sage

In terms of fragrance and flavour, it is reminiscent of Champagne, but without bubbles

Agnès and René Mosse were the owners of a wine bar in Tours and the daily meeting with great winemakers stimulated them to the point of pushing them to revolutionize their lives: studying oenology to abandon the bar and move to the vineyard. One of the teachers was Thierry Puzelat. They then worked for two years in the Côte-de-Beaune before purchasing their company in 1999. In just 14 years they have become true legends of Anjou. The key words of their path: organic and biodynamic agriculture, rejection of interventionist oenology and spontaneous vegetation in the vineyard.
