The Domaine owns 24 hectares of superlative vineyards including “Coteau des Treilles”, “Clos des Ruchères”, “Les Quarts”. All are of “Grand Cru” quality if not strictly classified as such. Ivan Massonnat, wine tragic and owner of Belargus, has purchased icon Jo Pithon’s estate and consolidated it with other prime acquisitions in Anjou Noir. Domaine Belargus is an organic operation and has recently begun implementing biodynamic practices. These principles are being applied at Belargus by two pioneers of the region: Jo Pithon, who has advocated for organic farming for more than 30 years, and Guy Bossard (Domaine de l’Ecu in Muscadet), who has pioneered Biodynamic practices in the region for decades. This dream team is putting in every effort to rejuvenate some of France’s greatest vineyards. Domaine Belargus owns 10 hectares out of the 40 that are classified Grand Cru in the Loire Valley and known as Quarts-de-Chaume. From the terraces of Clos des Ruchères in Savennières, planted directly on the rock, to the vertiginous slopes of the Coteau des Treilles, Belargus intentionally opts for the hard path and forges an ambitious and iconic brand of viticulture.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-08T15:17:13-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-27T03:58:58-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini2702","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Domaine Belargus","Region_Loire","Source_Bestofwines0223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chenin Blanc"],"price":59899,"price_min":59899,"price_max":59899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42807000825994,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Domaine Belargus | Anjou Bonnes Blanches","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":59899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_873e88ea-4768-4df7-bb60-c9f5c0621a39.png?v=1677488388"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_873e88ea-4768-4df7-bb60-c9f5c0621a39.png?v=1677488388","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Domaine Belargus | Anjou Bonnes Blanches at CaskCartel.com","id":24295461322890,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.414,"height":903,"width":374,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_873e88ea-4768-4df7-bb60-c9f5c0621a39.png?v=1677488388"},"aspect_ratio":0.414,"height":903,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_873e88ea-4768-4df7-bb60-c9f5c0621a39.png?v=1677488388","width":374}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Domaine Belargus | Anjou Bonnes Blanches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with an intense yet refined and schistous bouquet of crushed stones intermingled with notes of lemon oil.
