Les Poyeux would certainly classify as Grand Cru if the Loire Valley had such official classifications. Antoine’s small plot of Les Poyeux abuts that of Clos Rougeard.  Sanzay’s version sits as the less oaky equivalent, not to mention still a relative bargain. With aromas and flavors that are all Cabernet Franc, this wine behaves more like Red Burgundy in the way it presents itself on the palate. Sanzay’s 2021 Les Poyeux displays layers of damp earth, brambly blackberry, candied raspberry, tobacco, tea leaf, and green pepper aromatically with most of those themes repeating on the generous but structured palate. As one of the world’s greatest under-the-radar collectibles, Sanzay’s 2021 is poised to deliver thrills for the next 25 years. In today’s market, if this were a Bordeaux, it would fetch $400, and if it were a Burgundy, probably closer to $1,000 (for a small, bluechip producer making wine from the greatest terroir\/vineyard of its type.) Savor with prime rib, herb-roasted pork, duck, game, and charcuterie. So, who’s gonna get lucky today and snag some of this rarity? More than likely, this will be the last time we can get enough to feature it. \u003cstrong\u003e Limited.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lone Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700647256213,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/6032\/7829\/files\/antoine-sanzay-les-poyeux-domaine--688x600.png?v=1738456523"},{"product_id":"baudry-2022-les-granges","title":"Baudry 2024 Chinon Les Granges","description":"","brand":"PDX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700649681045,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"ch-depire-2022-cuvee-speciale","title":"Ch.

This insanely good wine is comprised of 100% Chenin Blanc from the estate's 90+ year old vines in the Le Hu-Boyau vineyard (immediately above the Coulée de Serrant). The Cuvée Spéciale is a dry, full-bodied, rich wine with a waxy texture and honeysuckle notes buttressing an intense core of stoney minerality. Here are importer Kermit Lynch's thoughts: \"The Cuvée Spéciale is what it usually is, their best parcel, old vines next to the Coulée de Serrant, fermented and raised in demi-muids, and bottled unfiltered...It is intense with a strong goût de terroir to go with the fruit. It is powerful, coiled like a spring, needs some time, and can age well into the next century.\" Word! In 2023 I enjoyed the 1985 and 2007 tremendously with Dungeness Crab - I’m just sayin’.

The Cru wines also age exceptionally well. Les Gras Mouton, or “The Fat Sheep” comes from a south-facing hilltop site in the cru of Monnières-Saint Fiacre, where the vines range in age from 20 to 60 years. The site's gneiss-based soils, mixed with clay and amphibolite stones, distinguish this bottling from Pépière's other more granite-based Muscadets -overlaying its core of citric acidity and stony minerality with a lovely viscosity which adds a sense of richness to the Gras Moutons. The 2024 is a bit leaner and more focused than the 2023.
