This wine made us fall hard for the elegance of Clos Galerne, a producer in the Loire's Anjou crafting vivacious Chenin. 'Balade en Chenin' is sourced from the younger vines in the Domaine and performs so far and above its modest price point. It has incredible acidity and a lovely waxy texture, with notes of ripe stone fruits and pretty white flowers. A wine to make you fall head over heels for Chenin.
Clos Galerne is the Anjou-based passion project of husband and wife duo Cédric and Myrtille Bourez, who relocated from Provence in search of some of the Loire's greatest terroirs for their own winemaking project. Having trained at Château d’Esclans Cedric and his wife Myrtille were captivated by the potential of the eleven hectares they found in the form of tiny parcels of Anjou Noir, Pierre Bise, Moulin Brûlé Beaulieu-sur-Layon, Savennières and Chaume.
It was love at first sight, and Cédric and Myrtille now own and farm these plots with organic principles and a low-intervention approach. We have been consistently blown away by this project. Clos Galerne offers outstanding expressions of Anjou Chenin Blanc at remarkably affordable prices, and we are very excited to see how they continue to take the Loire by storm.
