Ferme de la Sansonnière (Mark Angeli), Chenin Blanc 'La Lune' 2017

Stéphane Bernaudeau worked under Mark Angeli for 15 years before venturing out on his own. That should tell you all you need to know about how respected Mark is in the Loire Valley. His farming at Ferme de Sansonnière has been biodynamic for more than 30 years, turning him into an icon of both natural wine and Loire chenin blanc.

His “La Lune” as well as his exceptionally rare single-vineyard bottlings are dry and mineral-driven, yet rich, weighty, and powerfully aromatic.
