Importer Description

"This wine is part of the dry Quarts-de-Chaume trilogy: Veau facing west, Quarts facing south, and Rouères facing east. "Les Quarts" is the original plot which gave its name to the grand cru. Why 'Quarts'? Until the French revolution hacked off all the lords' heads, the Lords of Haute-Guerche who owned this vineyard had to give the Ronceray Abbey "the best quarter of the harvest" and these vineyards produced the finest. Thus the Quarts name was born.

Domaine Belargus is the recently born Domaine of wine visionary Ivan Massonnat, a conglomeration of three retiring estate’s prestigious holdings. Ivan has acquired and consolidated under this banner 24 hectares of millennium old parcels in passionate pursuit of the heart and soul of the Anjou and its bewitching vehicle, Chenin Blanc. This includes no less than 10ha (a quarter!) of the Loire Valley’s only Grand Cru: the famed Quarts-de-Chaume. Several more of the most illustrious monopoles and premier cru’s of Chenin Blanc now live under the Belargus aegis, seeking to capture in one estate and one variety fourteen (and counting) different micro-climates and soils from Savennières to Saint-Lambert du Lattay."
