2019 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), La Lune Amphores Blanc VdF

Ferme de la Sansonnière is located in Thouarcé within the Loire Valley, where Mark Angeli has managed the estate since 1990 by implementing biodynamic farming practices from his very first vintage. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc vines grown in clay and schist soils, with the fruit fermented and aged for one year in buried earthenware amphorae. In the glass, it presents focused notes of pear, quince, and honey, supported by a dense, textured palate and persistent acidity. The 2019 vintage provided the ripeness necessary to balance this wine’s natural intensity and structural tension. It is a stable, complex choice for those seeking a dry white that remains balanced enough to enjoy now or hold for further development in the cellar.
