2018 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), La Lune Amphores Blanc VdF

Ferme de la Sansonnière is a historic estate located in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, where Mark Angeli has championed biodynamic farming practices since purchasing the property in 1990. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc vines planted in schist and clay soils, a terroir that defines the estate's identity. In the glass, it shows a deep golden hue with notable aromas of dried fruit, honey, and crushed stone, supported by a rich, textured mouthfeel and lively acidity. The warm, dry 2018 growing season provided the grapes with excellent concentration, resulting in a wine that is powerful yet entirely dry. This bottle is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a balanced and complex profile that demonstrates why this producer remains a benchmark for the region.
