Chateau de Plaisance Ronceray

Vanessa Cherruau, a 32yo 'native' of Anjou, took over the property recently and has immersed herself in the life of the vigneron with uncompromising dedication and impressive confidence. The results are already extraordinary, and with equal confidence, I hereby predict that her star will rise rapidly, as no doubt will her prices!

Farmed biodynamically, Ronceray is from vineyards in Quarts de Chaume, an appellation reserved solely for sweet wines. This shows what nonsense that diktat is! A powerful expression of Chenin Blanc with a captivating interplay between acidity, bitterness, fruit and minerality. It awakens in the mouth like a giant from its slumber before scaling the beanstalk to depths of your conscience you never knew existed.
