Our Review of the Cuvée
From the very first whiff, this Chenin intrigues with its fresh, mineral aromas, evoking the schist soils of its native terroir. On the palate, it reveals lovely tension and precise structure, with an alluring acidity that perfectly balances the concentration of fruity flavors. The texture is both lively and full-bodied, a testament to the exceptional maturity of the old vines. The finish, persistent and elegant, prolongs the tasting experience, leaving an impression of purity and masterful balance. A wine to discover for its nuances and depth.

A few rows of Chenin are enough to define a style. Ménard cultivates micro-parcels with almost watchmaker-like precision: meticulously timed maturities, delicate pressings, and patient aging. The wines are linear, saline, and profoundly Anjou in character. To put it concisely: they are finely crafted. A domain that has become a cult favorite among connoisseurs.
