Pithon-Paille Anjou Blanc Mozaik 2018 (90 W&S)
“Colored as deeply golden as it tastes, this places lightly floral, zippy citrus fruit over a firm foundation. Its rich melony core has a tingle of salinity, the way southerners salt their honeydew. Drink it next to a vichyssoise to warm up a cold February day.”

Anjou, Loire Valley
Jo Pithon started his famed domaine in 1978. His parents were winemakers in Anjou, and Jo has done as much as anyone to lift the appellation, and the Loire Valley as whole, onto the world stage. His focus on dry whites, now commonplace, was very innovative in the last two decades of the 20th century. He was also at the forefront of organic farming, the use of indigenous yeasts and the rejection of sugar and acid additions.
