Press 4 Mix/White • October 2024 Direct Press Selection
La Grange aux Belles was founded in 2004 by Marc Houtin in Anjou and was shortly joined by his friends Julien Bresteau and Gérald Peau. They work organically without any synthetic pesticides or herbicides in the vineyard or in the cellar, with no additives in the cellar. Minimal sulfur is added when needed.
They work 15 hectares around AOC Coteaux de l’Aubance that is known for its black Schist bedrock rather than the white chalky parts of Anjou. Their vines are relatively old, ranging from 45-80+ years old. They have all spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and all the white wines see barrel fermentation.
La Grange aux Belles are some of my favorite wines to come in every year. Their ‘Le Vin de Jardin’ is a summer classic at this point. Their Chenin’s are always some of the best in any price point. The 'Moyens du Bord' has all of the characteristics of Chenin that I love. Aromas of orchard fruit, a hint of flint & spice, marmalade, almond, marzipan, lanolin and a generous palate echoing the nose with a hint of bergamot, great length, and breadth. Pair with your favorite sheep's cheese. Jeremy Hernandez
