2022 | Bois Moze Anjou 'Terre de Haut' Blanc | Loire
The 2022 Terre de Haut Anjou Blanc comes from the estateās 30-year-old Chenin Blanc vines where the soil is full of schist and sandyĀ clay. The grapes are hand-harvested and then destemmed at the cellar, and then head to a soft pressing before entering concrete forĀ fermentation with the āhouseā pied de cuve. Paying close attention to the temperature is very important to the winery at this point, toĀ ensure healthy activity as well as locking in wonderful aromatics and varietal character. After natural malolactic fermentation, the wineĀ is racked and then remains in concrete for another 6 to 8 months before a light filtration and bottling. A 3-month rest is required to letĀ the wine meld and relax a bit before release, and then once ready to open, the wine truly sings of the grape and the terroir. The noseĀ is full of honeyed apples, pears, quince, wet stones, and wool, leading to an incredible fuller bodied mouth feel, with acidity-led vibrancy,Ā crisp tree fruit, and extraordinary length. Gastronomic as well as gulpable, this Chenin is a lovely representation of Anjou.
