Anjou Blanc Sec Franc de Pied - Domaine Delesvaux

The Anjou Blanc Sec Franc de Pied from Domaine Delesvaux is an enchanting white wine that hails from the picturesque Loire Valley region in France. This wine is crafted exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes, cultivated on the domain's rich schist soils. The uniqueness of this wine stems from the "Franc de Pied" vines, which are not grafted onto American rootstocks, a rarity in the context of modern viticulture, providing the wine with a purity and unique expression of the terroir.

In appearance, it presents a light straw yellow color that is bright and inviting. On the nose, the wine bursts with intense aromas of white-fleshed fruits like apple and pear, enriched by floral nuances and a distinctive mineral hint reminiscent of flint. On the palate, the balance is impeccable: a lively freshness counterbalances the medium structure and aromatic complexity, leading to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Perfect to serve as an aperitif, the Anjou Blanc Sec Franc de Pied pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and vegetarian dishes based on green vegetables. A wine that is as much a celebration of its terroir as it is a statement of elegance and refinement.
