Chenin Blanc

Tout Simplement Blanc is the entry-level Chenin Blanc from Marie Percevault and Hervé Bossé's 6-hectare organic estate in the southern Côteaux du Layon (Anjou). The cuvée is exactly what the name promises: a Chenin without artifice, vinified with native yeasts, no fining, no filtration, no added sulphur, aged in fibreglass tank to keep oak out of the picture entirely. The 2024 release sits at 12% alcohol; a brighter, leaner vintage profile than the warmer recent Loire years. Sandy-clay soils of the southern Layon push the wine toward citrus, beeswax and salinity rather than the orchard-fruit weight that defines drier or warmer years. A Chenin Blanc for trade accounts that want a true Anjou expression without paying single-vineyard prices.

Cabernet Franc

Marie Percevault and Hervé Bossé started La Grange de Noue Mea in 2014 in the southern Côteaux du Layon (Anjou, Loire), now farming around six hectares organically. The estate's whites are Chenin-driven; the reds work mostly with Cabernet Franc and Grolleau. Choucab is a 100% Cabernet Franc bottling, vinified spontaneously, aged in fibreglass tank, bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulphur. The sandy-clay soils of the southern Layon push the variety toward the lighter, brighter end of the Loire Cab Franc register: red-fruited, peppery, low in tannin, built to drink chilled and young. 12% alcohol. A useful natural-leaning Loire red for trade accounts wanting Anjou Cab Franc that drinks easy without losing structure.

Spontaneous (native-yeast) fermentation. Élevage in fibreglass tank to keep oak influence out. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulphur.

Cabernet Franc

Patriste is one of La Grange de Noue Mea's serious Cabernet Franc bottlings, drawn from Marie Percevault and Hervé Bossé's organic plots in the southern Côteaux du Layon (Anjou). The 2019 vintage carries 13% alcohol, on the warmer side for the cellar but well within Loire range. Whole-bunch maceration, native-yeast fermentation, no added sulphur, no fining, no filtration; ageing in fibreglass tank to keep oak influence at zero. Cabernet Franc on Anjou's sandy-clay soils, worked this way, gives a wine more focused on aromatic detail than tannic weight. Red-fruited, ferrous, savoury, with the variety's unmistakable green-pepper signature kept in proper balance. A natural-wine Cab Franc for accounts that want Loire authenticity at restaurant-list-friendly weight.
