2019 is Vanessa Cherruau's first vintage at Château de Plaisance in Anjou and what a début! Her wines are brilliant and her concern for sustainability runs so much more than skin deep. For Loire geeks, there is a super discussion about the hill of Chaume, famous for producing stellar sweet wines and for having the only official crus in the Loire, but where incredible dry whites are now also being made.
It's a 2 hour + interview (apologies!) but Anjou is a fascinating region and Vanessa a captivating vigneronne. Our website and youtube channels have a detailed track list, allowing you to skip to whatever section you want to tlisten to.
(Our apologies for the sound on Paul's end —the ransom of living in gorgeous but semi-remote countryside— but the most important voice, Vanessa's, is crystal clear.)
