Le Colombier

2024
A Chenin Blanc crisp, lively, ideal for discovering the estate's wines.

Appelation

AOC Anjou Blanc

Terroir

Anjou Noir. Schist and sandstone soils of the Armorican Massif, bordered by the Layon.

Viticulture

Vines certified organic since 2024, trained using cordon and double Guyot methods, mostly over 30 years old. Mechanical soil work, with flowering fallow land sown to boost biodiversity and soil life. No chemical inputs, following a transition begun in 2021. Hand-harvested with strict sorting in the vineyard.

Winemaking and Ageing

Minimal intervention in the cellar. The pressing is slow and cold, and our alcoholic fermentations take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit.

Vintage

2024 will be remembered as a true winegrower's vintage, marked by exceptional rainfall, intense mildew pressure, and a significant overall drop in volumes across the Loire Valley. The harvest, which came late, began in mid-September to allow for optimal ripeness despite the weather conditions. The resulting wines are light in alcohol, fruity and easy-drinking.

Tasting Notes

The colour is pale golden yellow with green highlights, a sign of a Chenin in its first youth. The nose, fresh and expressive, opens with notes of Granny Smith apple, pear and orchard fruit — a clean, precise aromatic palette, true to the 2024 vintage. The palate is lively and taut, carried by a beautiful natural acidity. The long, mouth-watering finish marks a wine equally at ease as an aperitif or at the table, capable of accompanying a meal from start to finish.

Food & Wine Pairing

Aperitif platter.
Gilt-head bream, pilaf rice, thyme and rosemary, beurre blanc sauce.
Tomme d'Anjou cheese.

Ageing & Serving

Up to 3 years. Serve between 8°C and 10°C.
