Descrizione

The Anjou Blanc Terre de Grès from Chateau de Bois Brincon is an exemplary white wine, elegantly reflecting the winemaking tradition of the Loire. Made exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes, this wine boasts remarkable complexity due to its aging on fine lees, which imparts a rich and well-balanced structure.

Visually, it presents a light straw-yellow color, with bright reflections that hint at its freshness. On the nose, delicate aromas of white-fleshed fruits like apple and pear emerge, enriched by nuances of white flowers and subtle mineral notes, typical of the grès soils where the vines are grown.

On the palate, the Anjou Blanc Terre de Grès surprises with its liveliness and freshness. The acidity is well-balanced, making it pleasantly persistent and versatile for culinary pairings. It pairs perfectly with dishes based on fish, seafood, and goat cheeses.

The limited production and respect for the environment throughout all stages of production make this wine not only a pleasure for the palate but also an expression of sustainability and care for the land. The Anjou Blanc Terre de Grès from Chateau de Bois Brincon is, therefore, an excellent choice for wine enthusiasts seeking authenticity and quality.

Winery history

The earliest viticultural records for the area date back to 1219, when the Chapter of Saint John the Baptist of Angers planted vines on the Bois-Brinçon lands. After several changes of ownership, the Cailleau family acquired the site in the late 19th century. In the 20th century production paused and was decisively resumed by Xavier Cailleau in the early 1990s. In the 2000s the estate began converting to organic farming and incorporated biodynamic practices, gradually developing parcel-by-parcel production that showcases the different terroirs.

Production philosophy

The estate emphasizes vineyard biodiversity and fruit quality: organic and biodynamic practices, compost made from grape pomace kept separate by terroir, the use of herbal infusions and plant decoctions to stimulate vine defenses, and the presence of grazing animals as an element of balance. Vinification is focused on expressing individual sites through single-parcel cuvées.

Located in Le Bois Brinçon, Blaison-Gohier in Anjou, the vineyard extends across several communes in the area and produces wines under the region's typical appellations, such as Anjou, Coteaux du Layon, Coteaux de l'Aubance and Crémant de Loire.
