Our opinion on the vintage
The 2023 Quart des Noëls reveals a captivating nose, subtly expressive with notes of ripe white fruit and a hint of floral character. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the creamy texture envelops the taste buds while the mineral freshness enlivens the palate. The old Chenin vines, nearly a century old, impart impressive depth and complexity. The tasting concludes with a long and harmonious finish, where each sip invites a deeper exploration of this exceptional terroir of Faye d'Anjou.
Pierre Ménard
Loire | France
A few rows of Chenin Blanc are all it takes to create a style. Ménard works with micro-parcels, with almost clockwork precision: millimeter-perfect ripening, delicate pressing, patient aging. The wines are straightforward, saline, and profoundly Anjou. In short: they are exquisitely crafted. An estate that has become a cult favorite among wine lovers.
