Gélinette, an old French term for grouse, reflects the Anjou region's historical abundance of this bird amid its rich agricultural landscape. Mark Angeli of Ferme de la Sansonnière initially experimented with Cabernet Sauvignon but transitioned to Grolleau due to its potential for quality red wines. Despite criticism for its high yields and typical use in rosé, this indigenous grape can yield fragrant and complex wines when cultivated with care.
Originally labelled "Jeunes Vignes des Gélinettes," Mark Angeli's 2020 cuvée is now simply "Gélinettes" as the vines matured and became solely dedicated to Grolleau production. The grapes undergo hand destemming, followed by a three-week maceration before ageing in tanks. Best enjoyed paired with succulent pork dishes.
