From now until 2029Quite possibly one of the oldest vineyards in Anjou, Château de Bois-Brinçon began a new chapter with the arrival of Xavier Cailleau, who brought the estate a much-needed boost. Certified organic and biodynamic farming, parcel-by-parcel selection, hand harvesting and carefully managed ageing in barrels or tanks now form the foundations of a serious and highly recommendable range.
