Batardière 2023 Vin de France "Les Noëls de Montbenault" (Limit 2 per customer)

Les Noëls de Montbenault is a famous site in Anjou, mostly associated with the Richard Leroy cuvée of the same name. It is a unique parcel that is essentially a volcanic site, rich in Rhyolite, and distinct from the Cocus vineyard or the other parcels that Batardiere works. The vines here were planted by Thomas in 2014, so this is a relatively new wine, but has already impressed us immensely in recent vintages. The 2023 is exceptional, deeply mineral with incredible length and layers of complexity that open up over the course of several hours. Undoubtedly a wine for the cellar, it is also a superb Chenin Blanc to enjoy now with a decant. Due to the tiny quantity we received, there is a 2 bottle limit per customer
