2021 | Domaine Stephane Bernaudeau | Les Ongles

Producer Information

Stéphane Bernaudeau grew up in the Anjou Noir, right next to the Layon, as a child he loved wandering around the river banks contemplating the fauna and flora for hours. After finishing his studies in forestry in the late 80s, he took a cash in hand job at the neighbouring Ferme de la Sansonnière, working for the newly arrived Mark Angéli. Tastings were regularly organised at the farm with pioneers like Jo Pithon, Richard Leroy, Eric Calcutt and René Mosse attending. Stéphane quickly embraced the group’s countercultural approach to wine, and what was meant to be temporary became a full-time job, he worked as Mark's right-hand man for over 10 years. It comes as no surprise that Stéphane has become a sucker for blind tastings, “so that one can say des conneries freely” he explains with a cheeky smile - one should expect to be tested when visiting and therefore should bring some bottles to return the favour!
