2021 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), La Lune Blanc VdF

Mark Angeli established Ferme de la Sansonnière in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley in 1989, where he has long been a pioneer of biodynamic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc vines averaging 35 years of age, grown in soils composed of schist, clay, and sand. The 2021 Lune offers a profile defined by crisp lemon curd, white peach, and a distinct, salty minerality that underscores its structural depth. A cooler vintage, 2021 brought high energy and bright acidity to the fruit, resulting in a particularly precise expression of this iconic site. It is balanced and accessible now, though its depth and tension ensure it will continue to develop well in the cellar.
