Roc’h Avel Anjou Blanc Terre de l’Elu MAGNUM 2019

Roc’h Avel Anjou Blanc Magnum Terre de l’Elu, Biodynamic Wine, delicious classy white wine! An exciting bouquet of liquorice and fennel leads to ripe pear and fresh almonds. On the palate, a saline freshness and aniseed flavour. This Anjou Blanc Magnum is a full-bodied, yet at the same time tender and elegant wine and is a perfect accompaniment to shellfish or a fresh goat’s cheese. Although the wines from Terre L’Elu are both approachable and expressive in youth, they will age magnificently. In Magnum, this one would go 10 years easy and develop fantastic complexity. It is such a friendly wine too, it would be great for dinner parties and celebrations too.

An agronomic engineer by trade, Thomas spent many of his formative years working in Champagne, California and Provence.

In 2008, he settled down in the Anjou and took over what is now Terre de l’Elu. With 8 grape varieties over 30 plots, covering 25 hectares, one of the particularities of the estate is that their top wines are aged in clay amphorae. Thomas also makes a delicious Chaume. Thomas also ferments and matures his white wines in old barrels with wild yeasts. All production is totally natural and organic with elements of biodynamic viticulture as well. The wines have a depth and rich texture which always leaves the drinker reaching for another glass!
