Domaine Belargus - Quarts 2020
Domaine Belargus is located in Val-du-Layon, in the heart of Anjou Noir in the Loire Valley. The vines are spread around three main islands (Savennières, Quarts-de-Chaume and Coteaux du Layon), themselves composed of unique terroirs, precisely defined by their exposure, their subsoil or their slope. Built by Ivan Massonnat , the 20-hectare estate managed biodynamically is dedicated to Chenin Blanc and explores these micro-terroirs in a plot-by-plot approach inspired by Burgundy climates. The team is made up of young talents such as Adrien Moreau as cellar master and Amaury Chartier as head of cultivation and the estate benefits from the support of true Loire pioneers such as Jo Pithon and Guy Bossard.
"Les Quarts" is the original plot that gave its name to the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation. This cuvée is made from Chenin Blanc grown on 3.08 hectares (almost half of the 7 hectares of the lieu-dit) on a schist terroir exposed on the southern slope of the ridge.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
