2023 Stephane Bernaudeau, Les Ongles, VdF

Stéphane produces world-class, dry Chenin Blanc in Anjou – wines in line with the greatest Chenin’s from Clos Rougeard, Richard Leroy and the likes. These are incredibly exciting and delicious wines that would rival any white wine you’d like to compare it against. The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in old oak barrels, allowing them to develop their full potential. These are concentrated, layered, nuanced wines that really bowl you over in pleasure, and it’s no surprise to see how much demand there is for these rare bottles. Les Ongles is a single-vineyard expression, showcasing the unique characteristics of its terroir.
