"Made from a small parcel in the village of Saint-Lambert, the 2022 Anjou Blanc … Francois(e) is a mouth-filling style without any heaviness. The generosity of the 2022 season has been curbed, and there's a nervousness and slightly reductive nature that keeps it tight. Expect an attractive sourness from the acidity and salinity."
