Loic Mahe
L'Echappée Belle Blanc 2017
In 2017, Loic produced this unique and exciting wine, made from Chenin Blanc from vineyards south of the Loire, blended with Pinot Gris grapes from his friend in Alsace, Philippe Brand, this is a unique and exciting wine. Philippe shares the same organic principles of viticulture as Loïc, but is also biodynamic. There is great depth to the pale gold colour in the glass and a very aromatic bouquet. The aromas are slightly oxidative, but very enticing with orchard fruits, pears and quince combined with a mouth-watering, saline minerality. The palate has the same intensity and depth as you’d expect after the nose, with lovely clean pear fruits and the same saline mineral notes again. The balancing acidity adds a real vibrance to the wine and the palate is full of life and energy. The palate continues to evolve and reveal more delightful layers with time in the glass. Everything is perfectly balanced and in tune and the length is fantastic. The Chenin and Pinot Gris prove a great partnership here and will pair superbly with seafood, poultry and vegetable dishes. A serious, classy wine, offering a refreshingly different expression from each individual varietal.
