In 2008, he reimagined the family business to form Pithon-Paillé and now in 2019 Jo made the difficult decision to sell the estate to a new, but deeply dedicated owner: Ivan Massonnat. While no longer the formal head of the estate, Jo will remain heavily involved in decision-making, as well as the production of some of Pithon-Paillé's most celebrated wines. Bringing aboard the young, but immensely talented Adrien Moreau was the final piece of the puzzle for Domaine Belargus, and the team is eager to get started, with the 2018 vintage representing the first for the nascent Domaine. Together, they have formed the brand new \"Domaine Belargus\", a name referring to the rare, beautiful blue butterflies found in the region. Currently they farm 26 hectares of their own land, having recently purchased an additional 13 hectares in Quarts de Chaume and Savennieres AOCs. The monopole vineyard, “Le Coteau des Treilles” remains the gem of the estate, representing an unofficial Grand Cru in terms of dry Chenin Blanc production. All of their grapes are farmed organically. Masters of some of the region’s rare, single-vineyard Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs, they take their cues from Burgundy where each parcel is prized for its unique character—a concept that is still relatively new to the Loire. Their wines are made as naturally as possible using only one-third of the permitted doses of sulfur. Straight, layered, fresh, balanced and textured, their wines showcase the pedigree of the terroir, and the bright future of this estate.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-19T10:40:37-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-16T12:38:50-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK1612","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Belargus","Region_Loire Valley","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chenin Blanc"],"price":642800,"price_min":642800,"price_max":642800,"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":42630362235018,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Belargus | Anjou Bonnes Blanches","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":642800,"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_f0d2022a-f5e6-4883-ae15-b48e49c089a7.png?v=1671215283"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_f0d2022a-f5e6-4883-ae15-b48e49c089a7.png?v=1671215283","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Belargus | Anjou Bonnes Blanches at CaskCartel.com","id":23785594978442,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.41,"height":1080,"width":443,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_f0d2022a-f5e6-4883-ae15-b48e49c089a7.png?v=1671215283"},"aspect_ratio":0.41,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/28_f0d2022a-f5e6-4883-ae15-b48e49c089a7.png?v=1671215283","width":443}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2018 | 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.
