Château de Bonnezeaux swiftly emerged as a highly sought-after Loire producer, despite its 19th-century winemaking history laying dormant for 30 years until Guyonne Saclier de la Batie revived it in 2012. The Anjou estate embraces biodynamics, revitalizing abandoned vineyards. With low yields, hand-harvested grapes, and minimal intervention in the cellar, the dry Chenin Blanc wines are exceptionally concentrated, electric, and textured. These rare "unicorn" wines, introduced with biodynamic practices, mark Château de Bonnezeaux as one of the most thrilling and coveted names in the Loire.
