Célestin Blondeau Sancerre 2014
About the wine
Super-posh Sancerre from banker-turned-winemaker Joost de Villebois
- As Sauvignon Blanc specialists we are always looking for new experiences, we were very excited to get the opportunity to work with these wonderful grapes.
- Thanks to the always wonderful and truly enthusiastic support of our Angels we were able to craft this wine, we are so excited for you to taste it.
- A lovely full and round palate followed by a sensation of crispness, with a hint of anise and complimented by a refined minerality.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Joost and Miguela de Villebois
- Joost started his career miles from the vineyard. In fact, he was the Chairman of the Dutch Stock Exchange... But all it took was one fateful holiday to the Loire Valley for Joost's whole world to be turned upside down. Here began his love story with winemaking - he threw in his stable city job, upped-sticks and moved his whole life to the Loire to try his hand at winemaking.
- Since then, with his wife Miguela and their highly dedicated team, Joost has gone wild with the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Vintage after vintage their ultra premium range has been swept off the shelves by Angels, receiving sky scraping ratings, and turning the heads of critics.
- Now that they've cracked the code to top-drawer Loire Valley classics, their focus has turned to keeping things green and making wines that are just as kind on the planet as they are on the palate. They've introduced beehives and bat hotels to their vineyards, and put in hours of work to achieve the huge green landmark of certified sustainability!
