Mark Angeli of Ferme de la Sansonnière is one of the Loire’s most uncompromising and influential vignerons. Based in Thouarcé in Anjou, he has farmed biodynamically since the late 1980s, cultivating living soils with horse ploughing and extremely low yields to achieve concentration without heaviness. His cellar work is deliberately restrained, relying on indigenous fermentations, long élevage and minimal additions to allow Chenin Blanc to transmit its site with clarity and depth.
Les Blanderies comes from schist dominant soils in Anjou that lend tension and a distinctive mineral drive. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe, concentrated fruit balanced by Chenin’s natural acidity. The wine shows orchard fruit, citrus zest and subtle honeyed notes, framed by firm structure and a saline edge. It carries both generosity and precision, with the capacity to evolve gracefully over time.
