Domaine Ogereau - Anjou blanc - En Chenin 2022

ORGANIC

Key words: Fruity / Roundness / Pleasure

The wine: This cuvée 100% Chenin from Domaine Ogereau offers us a brilliant fruitiness thanks to its notes of citrus, green apple, peach, pear and quince. Endowed with a very nice balance between roundness and tension thanks to its short aging in oak barrels, a beautiful gourmandise is present at the tasting. A great introduction (or confirmation) to Chenin and the Loire!

The estate: Slocated in Val-du-Layon to the south of Angers, the domaine Ogereau today reaches 24 hectares and has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2019. Emmanuel and his parents produce wines of all colors in AOC Anjou, Anjou-Villages, Savennières, Côteaux-du-Layon and Quarts-de-Chaume. Thanks to Vincent Ogereau, the property has built a solid reputation since the 1980s and produces wines where the terroir is expressed in a great precision. Since 2014, it is Emmanuel (5^th generation) who continues this work of constant identity research. The harvest is manual, indigenous yeasts and the use of sulfur in winemaking is minimal. The terroir is mainly composed of shales, sands as well as volcanic rocks. The range of wines is wide, but the minerality, the richness of the fruit and the class of aging are strong markers of this great estate in Anjou.
