Chateau de Fesles la Chapelle Bonnezeaux 2015 37.5cl

The Bonnezeaux appellation sits within a small part of a single commune – Thouarcé – on the right bank of the river Layon across three south-facing slopes. As with many of the great sweet wines produced around the world the relationship to this small river is key in forming the precise microclimate required for botrytis (Noble rot) to occur on the grapes. Chateau de Fesles own 25% of the total plantings of Bonnezeaux. All of their vineyards dedicated to the production of this wine are situated on the slopes, sandstone Schist & clay.

About the winemaker

When it comes to Bonnezeaux Chateau de Fesles is intrinsically wound so tight with the virtual fabric of the appellation. Chateau de Fesles has long had a special place in my heart. Situated on one of the highest sites in the Loire in terms of viticulture in the commune of Thouarcé, smack bang in the heart of the Bonnezeaux appellation.

Chateau de Fesles in fact own 25% of the total plantings in the Bonnezeaux AOP but chooses not vinify all these grapes into Bonnezeaux, using some of the Chenin Blanc plantings for their Cremant, Coteau du Layon and Anjou Blanc. Unlike the limestone calcareous soils found in Vouvray across the Loire to the North Bonnezeaux and Quarts de Chaume share a similar soil of sandstone Schist & Quartz over clay.

With the Chateau dating back over a 1000 years (built in 1070) and records of wine production starting in the 1870’s when purchased by the Bouvin family it has quite the history in the region. The total property is 50 hectares of which 43 are planted predominantly with Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Grolleau. The Domaine will become certified Organic from the 2022 vintage.
