2021 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), Blanderies Vieilles Vignes Blanc VdF

Mark Angeli operates Ferme de la Sansonnière in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, where he has pioneered biodynamic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking since taking over the estate in 1989. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc vines planted in 1949, which are rooted in the schist soils of the single-site Blanderies vineyard. In the glass, it shows concentrated notes of yellow apple, tree fruit, and a distinct mineral quality, supported by a structured, balanced texture. The 2021 vintage in the Loire provided a return to a classic style, bringing higher acidity and a vibrant character that defines this release. This bottle is built for the cellar but maintains enough focus and depth to be enjoyed now by those who appreciate a precise, terroir-driven white wine.
