Gault&Millau's review 2026

The nose is floral, dominated by notes of acacia honey and flowers. The palate is lively, carried by a delicate, perfectly integrated sweetness, lovely tension, and a light texture. The wine has a certain brightness, even if it remains somewhat subtle. The chalky finish offers a pleasant sensation of freshness. An elegant expression, though still young and reserved.

Château de Plaisance

A little gem of the Anjou Noir region, with its 25 hectares—including about 20 of Chenin—certified organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2008, Château de Plaisance spans the terroirs of Chaume, Quarts-de-Chaume, and Savennières. Long owned by the Rochais family, it was taken over in 2019 by Vanessa Cherruau. Since her sensational arrival, the young winemaker has taken the non-interventionist philosophy a step further: single-vineyard cuvées, natural winemaking in barrels, concrete tanks, or amphorae, and grass cover between the rows.
