Domaine Belargus - Layon 2022
Domaine Belargus is located in Val-du-Layon, in the heart of Anjou Noir in the Loire Valley. The vines are distributed around three main islets (Savennières, Quarts-de-Chaume and Coteaux du Layon), themselves composed of unique terroirs, defined precisely by their exposure, their subsoil or their slope. Built by Ivan Massonnat , the 20-hectare biodynamic estate is dedicated to Chenin Blanc and explores these micro-terroirs in a plot approach inspired by Burgundian climates. The team is made up of young talents such as Adrien Moreau as head cellar 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.
Layon results from an assembly of plots bordering the Layon, spread over three villages: Beaulieu-sur-Layon, Saint-Lambert du Lattay and Saint-Aubin de Luigné. This sweet wine is made from Chenin Blanc grown on 6.51 hectares on a shale terroir exposed on the north and south slopes of the rump.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
