Description
The 2015 Anjou “Vent de Spilite” from Domaine Ogereau is an exceptional dry white wine made exclusively from Chenin Blanc. This emblematic grape of the Loire Valley finds a unique expression on the schist and volcanic soils of the Anjou appellation, giving the wine aromatic complexity and a singular structure. The terroir, composed of schist and spilite (volcanic rock), imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine, adding depth and unmatched freshness. The winemaking expertise of Domaine Ogereau, combined with the excellent 2015 vintage, results in a wine that is precise, vibrant, and elegant.
The 2015 Vent de Spilite stands out for its mineral and chiselled character. It offers a subtle expression of Chenin Blanc with rich aromatics. Aging on fine lees adds volume, a velvety texture, and a saline finish.
Blend
This wine is made entirely from Chenin Blanc, a grape that thrives on the unique soils of Anjou. The terroir allows the wine to express intense mineral nuances and balanced acidity.

Nose: Complex and elegant, the nose reveals ripe fruit aromas like pear, golden apple, and quince, accompanied by notes of white flowers, honey, and a subtle saline hint reminiscent of the volcanic terroir.
