Domaine des Granges “La Part des Anges”
Val de Loire | Indication Géographique Protégée
THE DOMAINE & THE STORY
The story begins in the cold North West of France near the Atlantic Ocean. The AOC “Fiefs Vendéens BREM” is one of the most westerly vineyards in the Loire Valley. Despite a presumably cold location, we find a warm and oceanic microclimate producing Chenin Blanc and many other indigenous grapes. These indigenous grapes include the resurgent Fie Gris once grown in much of the Loire Valley. This AOC currently consists of seven wineries and is truly a hidden gem in France. This oceanic Loire location and it’s microclimate offers these vineyard singularity, minerality,energy and salinity. Brem provides a unique terroir where the vines take root and flourish. The Domaine's team is Christian and Delphine Nobiron who proudly work together all year round, “in the vineyard as in life”. They are now the fourth generation to work this 12 hectares vineyard and seems poised to push the boundaries in terms of sustainable agriculture and quality.

TASTING NOTES
This wine is a beautiful purple color with violet hues. The powerful and expressive nose develops aromas of red fruits and blackcurrant with cream. The fruit is very ripe, and the resulting wine is balanced, rich, dominated by notes of cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry and embellished with spicy notes. Harmonious and of beautiful depth, this cuvée combines elegance and richness.
“We watch over our vines and wines everyday, so each cuvee can express its own identity in the respect of Terroir...”
