La Ferme de la Sansonnière Les Blanderies 2023

Les Blanderies 2023 is a Chenin Blanc from La Ferme de la Sansonnière, the Anjou estate associated with Mark and Martial Angeli. Bottled as Vin de France, it reflects the family's longstanding commitment to biodynamic farming and to wines that express their individual vineyard origins.

This cuvée comes from the Les Blanderies vineyard, where clay soils help shape a white wine that combines richness with distinctive acidity. Its appeal lies in that balance: generous texture and expressive fruit held together by freshness. The estate's approach includes natural fermentation and patient ageing in older oak, allowing Chenin's personality to remain central.

This is the Les Blanderies bottling, distinct from the estate's separately named Vieilles Vignes des Blanderies. For serving, we suggest a medium-sized white-wine glass and a cool, rather than icy, temperature so the texture can unfold. Pair it with roast chicken, scallops, creamy mushroom dishes or a mature goat's cheese. One 750ml bottle offers a focused introduction to this individual Loire domaine and its interpretation of Chenin Blanc.
