Domaine de La Grange aux Belles
In Anjou, Domaine de La Grange aux Belles offers a deliberately free and unconventional interpretation of Loire Valley grape varieties. Cabernet Franc is crafted here in a crisp and supple style, favoring fruit expression over structure. Grolleau, a grape variety long marginalized, is vinified directly, highlighting its natural lightness. Chenin Blanc can express itself in profiles that are more delicate than sharp, depending on the cuvée and the desired balance.
The winemaking process follows a natural approach, with limited but always controlled interventions to preserve the precision and clarity of the wines. Extractions remain moderate, aging discreet, resulting in fluid textures and supple balance.
The wines are distinguished by their approachability and drinkability, with profiles that glide smoothly on the palate and prioritize immediate pleasure without sacrificing coherence. The estate's work as a whole offers a joyful and confident vision of Anjou, attentive to the expression of grape varieties
