The vineyards stand next to the famed 'Coulée de Serrant' on South-West facing hillsides of predominately schist soils. Since her arrival Tessa has been improving every detail to be able to make more precise, transparent, complex wines. The results are spectacular and she now produces one of the best examples of Chenin in Anjou.  The superb shist terroir of \"Roche aux Moines\" is fully captured in this wine which has fabulous depth of white fruit with very firm acidity and citrus, anise and stone in the long finish. Superb as a young wine, the aromas will open and evolve at about ten years, enjoy until 2045. Serve with pike, seabass, turbot, langoustines, scallops and lobster, not to mention risotto with truffles, riz de veau and andouilletes de Lyon au vin blanc...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polaner Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46474064265441,"sku":"3760041532317","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/DomaineAuxMoines2022Savennieres-RocheauxMoines-FB_48a45485-55e0-4817-894a-5d76346d6f55.jpg?v=1775928596"},{"product_id":"batardiere-2024-ultraviolette-vdf-sparkling-rose","title":"Batardiere 2022 Ultraviolette VDF Sparkling Rosé","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a relatively new wine from Marie-Lise and Thomas, made up of 100% Grolleau.

More specifically, it's quartz, gravel and magma mixed with big quartz stones. Most of the fruit is sourced from the Croix Hardie vineyard (younger vines), and Carriere vineyard (planted in 1981) with a small percentage of old vines. While some of the other Chenins from Batardière are more contemplative and take some time to reveal themselves, L'Esprit Libre is pure joy right out of the bottle. It's really fine and balanced, a perfect wine to drink now while you wait on \u003cspan\u003eLes Noëls de Montbenault to evolve in the cellar!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fruit of the Vines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48201250078945,"sku":"31948","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/Batardiere_Esprit-1.jpg?v=1775919241"},{"product_id":"batardiere-2024-les-cocus-vdf","title":"Batardière 2024 Les Cocus VDF","description":"\u003cp\u003eLes Cocus comes from a single parcel planted in 1968, which sits atop a hillside comprised of clay schist soils with good wind exposure. Here we find a very typical Anjou terroir with all of the schists, black, purple, and more! The wine undergoes primary and malolactic fermentation in used 500L barrels with no fining and only a small amount of sulfur is added at bottling. The 2024 Les Cocus is a beautiful Chenin, a deep golden color in the glass with pure, crystalline fruit, sleek minerality and profound texture. There's plenty of structure to age another 5-10 years, but there's a nice tension and vivacity that make it extremely enjoyable now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fruit of the Vines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48201250308321,"sku":"31949","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/BatardiereCocus.jpg?v=1775919245"},{"product_id":"batardiere-2024-grand-clos","title":"Batardiere 2024 Grand Clos","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrand Clos is a relatively new Chenin bottling from Marie-Lise and Thomas, from young vines they planted in Rablay-sur-Layon.
