Domaine Mosse - Bangarang Nouveau, Loire, France (2023)

TASTING NOTES

Light, juicy, chill-able red! Domaine Mosse are renowned for their dynamite chenin blancs, but their playful reds should not be overlooked. Tart cranberries, fresh cherry juice and a hit of fresh herbs. Essential drinking for fans of chilled-red.

Agnès and René Mosse, along with their sons Joseph and Sylvestre, live and work in the village of St-Lambert-du-Lattay, a village in the Coteaux-du-Layon area of Anjou. They adopted organic viticulture techniques from the start, plowing between and under the rows, and use biodynamic preparations to treat the vines and soil. In their area of "Anjou Noir" (Black Anjou, so called because of the dark color of the soils of slate and volcanic rocks), the soils are shallow, with subsoils of schist and sandstone, and varying amounts of clay on the surface.
