Our Review of the Cuvée
Le Quart des Noëls 2023 reveals a captivating, subtly expressive nose with notes of ripe white fruits and a floral hint. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: a creamy texture envelops the taste buds while mineral freshness invigorates the palate. The old Chenin vines, nearly a century old, contribute impressive depth and complexity. The tasting culminates in a long and harmonious finish, where each sip invites a deeper exploration of this exceptional Faye d’Anjou terroir.

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.
