Despite its recent beginnings, the domaine has already gained a devoted following, with demand far exceeding its tiny production. Both bring strong experience from some of the Loire’s most respected estates. Mélanie trained with Patrick Baudouin, Emmanuel Ogereau, and later worked alongside Mark and Martial Angeli at Ferme de la Sansonnière, while Romain built his craft through roles at Domaine Richou and Terra Vita Vinum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"944\" data-start=\"622\"\u003eThe estate takes its name from their first vineyard, Clos des Bretèches, a 1.2ha organically farmed site in Grand Bonnezeaux acquired under the guidance of Mark Angeli. Today they farm 2.6ha organically, crafting precise, energetic wines that beautifully capture the tension, depth and mineral character of Anjou Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"944\" data-start=\"622\"\u003eFrom a single parcel of 33-year-old Chenin Blanc in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, planted on spilite and rhyolite soils, Les Belouines delivers a tense, mineral-driven expression of Anjou Noir. The nose combines citrus, white orchard fruit and subtle smoky notes, while the palate is vibrant and finely textured, with saline freshness and a stony, energetic finish. Precise and quietly complex, it beautifully captures the depth and tension of this volcanic-influenced terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer  \u003cstrong\u003e Clos Des Breteches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eGran Bonnezeaux, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnjou, Loire, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChenin blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e12% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eMedium body white \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eManual harvest, gently pressed, fermented in barrique with indigenous yeast, aged for about 1 year on lees,  bottled unfiltred, unfined and no SO2 added.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003cstrong\u003e Natural, Organic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos des Breteches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55557481628024,"sku":"LESBELOUIN-24-CBR-WHI","price":81.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Les_Belouines_Breteche.png?v=1778692619","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/les-belouines-vdf-clos-des-breteches-2024","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
