Pierre Ménard has been based in Faye d'Anjou since 2013. After several winemaking internships around the world (Portugal, Hungary, Canada, and New Zealand), the winemaker took over his parents' estate. A rising star of Anjou Noir, he is first and foremost passionate about astronomy. The lunar cycles dictate the rhythm of the vines and each key stage of winemaking, right up to the creation of the precious wines. These wines reflect the identity of a given plot and are sometimes named after planets or stars. This sweet wine from Chenin Blanc began its journey when beautiful botrytis settled over the Quart des Noels and Clos des Mailles vineyards in late fall. 6 harvest lots were assembled to achieve "cosmic" harmony. Spontaneous fermentation in steel and glass containers. Biodynamic farming that includes the use of herbal teas for plant protection. Teas are made from horsetail, nettle, yarrow, wicker, dandelion, chamomile, and fern. Careful manual harvest throughout October. Pale gold color with aromas and flavors of mango, pineapple, quince, yellow peach, white pepper, and lemon sherbet, along with a fresh acidity, fine sweetness, and a long finish with notes of honeyed praline and peach. Miniscule amounts were made.
