Domaine Belargus Anjou 'Ronceray' 2021
$160
This is a blend of several plots from around the Quarts de Chaume and Chaume. There’s a breadth here from the pudding stones, but there’s still real tension and a bitter kick. There’s a sense of oxidative bruised apple character from long ageing in oak, and yet there’s also a smoky reductive character from a long time on lees. It is intriguing, messing with your brain in a good way, providing yin and yang. Plentiful substance and richness.
