Wine : being served at Bistrot Les Tontons

L’insolent

Château de Plaisance

AOC Anjou

Featuring amongst Gérald’s selection of ‘dry whites’ at Les Tontons is L’insolent.

Created by Guy Rochais of Château de Plaisance, a biodynamic producer, L’insolent is an elegant dry white chenin oaked for one year.  It has a deep intensity and faint flavour of grapefruit, and is a wine to be savoured within its first 3 years, or after 10 years.

Enjoyed on its own, L’insolent is also idyllic served alongside our ‘assiette de poisson’, or even with our ‘plateau de fromages!’ at Bistrot Les Tontons.

Introducing BLT's wine of the week (No.9)

‘Le Clos’ 2009
AOC Savennières
Château de Plaisance

This week Gérald has selected the elegant, ‘Le Clos’ 2009 (AOC Savennières), produced by the organic & biodynamic wine maker Guy Rochais from Château de Plaisance, as his wine of the week.

Harvested by hand, post pressing the juice is placed into oak barrels of 2 to 5 years old and left for 11 to 12 months, a process which creates a white wine whose perfume is of fruits with an impression of minerals.

Another popular choice at Bistrot Les Tontons, ‘Le Clos’ 2009 is suggested served alongside our supper dish; Brioche de Saint Jacques Risotto Crémeux.
