Dhomme 2019 Clos des Fresnaires Anjou

The 2019 is a bit cleaner and more focused versus the richer and fuller 2018 previously on the shelves. The nose shows a precise apricot and nectarine with a light hit of citrus. The palate is just shy of moderate in weight with citrus flesh, nectarine and a pleasant white stone minerality. D&M Tasting Notes

Clairisse and her husband Quentin Dhommé have been organically farming their 25 hectares property since 2011. They harvest all their fruit by hand and only use indigenous yeasts. The couple make a number of excellent wines that we've brought into America for the first time. Their Anjou Blanc Clos des Fresnais 2018 is 100% chenin blanc coming from 30-year-old vines and aged in older oak barrels for 12 months. It shows notes of pear, vanilla, and a lovely mineraled streak buttresses by bright acids. Importer Notes
