Terra Vita Vinum, located in the Anjou Noir region of the Loire Valley south of Angers, is a winery that embraces the unique geological characteristics of its terroir. The estate spans about 30 hectares and is structured around seven distinct terroirs, each contributing to a diverse range of white, red, and rosé wines. The Anjou Noir's dark rocks, primarily schists and various volcanic formations, provide a pronounced and unique character to the wines. The winery benefits from the region's low rainfall, suitable hillsides, and the influence of the Loire River and its tributaries. This diversity of terroirs, combined with the area's microclimate, creates ideal conditions for growing Chenin Blanc, the king of Angevin grape varieties. Terra Vita Vinum's commitment to organic practices and terroir-driven winemaking results in wines that express the distinct mineral qualities of each parcel, offering a true taste of the Anjou Noir's geological heritage.

This AOC Anjou blanc from Terra Vita Vinum's Parcellaires range is a Chenin Blanc grown on north-facing schist in Denée. Produced organically with minimal intervention, the winery emphasizes that their wines closely reflect what nature provides, with each cuvée being a unique, unrepeatable creation. This particular wine aims to showcase the terroir's complex mineral expression, moving beyond simple varietal characteristics. We recommend serving at 10-14°C with 8+ years cellaring potential.
