2020 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), La Lune Blanc VdF

Mark Angeli established La Ferme de la Sansonnière in the Anjou region in 1990, immediately converting the historic polycultural estate to biodynamic farming practices. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc, sourced from vines planted in soils composed of clayey gravel, sand, and carboniferous schist. The palate shows defined notes of green apple, lemon zest, and a distinct nutty quality, supported by a rich texture balanced by lively acidity. The 2020 vintage provided the energy and concentration necessary to yield this precise expression of the site’s terroir. It is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a compelling look at the potential for dry wines in a landscape traditionally known for sweet production.
