🏰 The 2022 Grouas Anjou Les Ongles is a 【vibrant and fresh red wine】 from the Anjou region of the Loire Valley. The 2022 vintage in Alsace (a region with similar climatic patterns) was noted as warm and dry, yet produced bright and focused wines with lovely freshness. Expect this Anjou red, likely a Cabernet Franc, to showcase bright red fruit flavors, perhaps some earthy or herbal undertones, and a lively acidity that makes it highly enjoyable in its youth. It embodies a fresh and approachable style, reflecting the character of a good, ripe vintage.
🍴 This versatile red is an excellent companion for charcuterie boards, grilled sausages, lighter red meat dishes, or even a hearty lentil stew. Its freshness also makes it suitable for slightly chilled serving with summer fare.
🥂 Perfect for a casual dinner with friends, a picnic, or an everyday wine that offers both character and drinkability.
BACKGROUND
Stéphane Bernaudeau (often associated with the lieu-dit or former estate name) is a cult natural winemaker in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley. Having previously worked with the legendary Mark Angeli, Bernaudeau farms his small plots of Chenin Blanc biodynamically. 'Les Ongles' is one of his highly sought-after single-vineyard cuvées. Grown on schist soils, this dry Chenin Blanc is renowned for its incredible tension, purity, and complexity, offering notes of orchard fruit, honey, and a profound, lingering minerality.
