2018 Domaine Belargus Ronceray

“Ronceray” is the given name for dry Chenin produced in Chaume 1er cru and Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru. The Ronceray Abbey ruled over the Chaume area as of the 11th century, and the nuns were compensated with the best portion of the year’s harvest, a quarter’s worth. The name of the cuvée is thus a playful reference to a long and rich history within the appellation.

Belargus is essentially a wine lover's dream come true.

At the origin of the project: the vision of a wine enthusiast, determined to restore the prestige of a thousand-year-old vineyard, in the heart of Anjou. Built stone by stone by Ivan Massonnat, the Estate is 100% dedicated to Chenin Blanc and explores the micro-terroirs of Anjou Noir in a single-plot approach inspired by the climats of Burgundy.
