Ferme de la Sansonnière La Lune 2019 - Mark Angeli

This 2019 La Lune Vin de France is a great white wine from the Loire, produced by Mark Angeli at the Ferme de la Sansonnière from Chenin, the iconic grape variety of Anjou. Grown on a plot with soils comprising clay schist, Carboniferous schist and phanite, this Loire Chenin is cultivated using biodynamic methods and vinified with a minimal-intervention approach. The 2019 vintage reveals a complex nose with aromas of pear, quince and apricot, accompanied by notes of honey and white fruits. On the palate, La Lune 2019 offers a full-bodied, ripe texture, underpinned by lovely freshness and a distinct minerality that brings balance and length. Ageing in used barrels allows the Chenin to retain all its energy and expression of the terroir. Served at around 12°C, this white Vin de France will pair perfectly with poultry in sauce, fish in a creamy sauce, mushrooms or a mature goat’s cheese. This 2019 La Lune from the Ferme de la Sansonnière will appeal to lovers of great Loire Chenins, biodynamic wines and age-worthy vintages from Mark Angeli.
