Wine Tasting with an Entrepreneur
To celebrate the end of week 7 of Lent Term, we are pleased to be co-hosting a wine tasting at the E-Lab with the Cambridge University Wine Society (CUWS).
Created in 2018 by Ivan Massonnat to restore the prestige of a thousand-year-old vineyard, the Pithon-Paillé estate of Jo Pithon, who is renowned for developing the reputation of Anjou wines, Domaine Belargus is not only critically acclaimed but a true wine lover’s dream come true – the manifestation of the vision of a wine enthusiast.
The estate spans 24 hectares of some of the most renowned terroirs in Anjou, focusing exclusively on Chenin Blanc to explore the micro-terroirs of the region in a single-plot approach through an unprecedented selection of grand crus, single-plots, and monopoles.
Entirely biodynamic, every wine is rigorously produced to highlight the signature identity and features of each plot. Please join us in discovering their collection that is redefining the vineyards of the Loire Valley.
Ivan Massonnat fundamentally believes in the virtues of a collective approach: since inception the Belargus project has been designed as a team adventure, bringing together young talents (notably winemaker Adrien Moreau and vineyard manager Amaury Chartier) and some iconic Loire pioneers (namely Jo Pithon and Guy Bossard).
