About La Grange aux Belles
La Grange Aux Belles was created by Marc Houtin in 2004 – a classic story of a new career, first looking for vineyards in the Languedoc then finding 9 hectares in Anjou, inspired by Leon Barral in the south and Patrick Baudoin in the Loire. The estate has Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pineau d’Aunis, Gamay, Grolleau, and Chenin Blanc, farmed organically, of course, using herbal infusions against mildew and vinified with minimal SO2. Short macerations are practiced here, with minimal extraction, seeking light-bodied aromatic wines, low in tannins and alcohol. This comes as a welcome alternative to the tannic, high-acid reds that have been common in Anjou. The whites here too are light and mineral, very pure and untainted by new oak. The wines from Grange Aux Belles are simply delicious – they sell out immediately in France.
