Although Georges Bureau did not start out as a winemaker, both he and his wife Violaine come from winemaking families in Bordeaux, so they had plenty of expertise to call upon when they decided to follow their passion and buy Domaine de Salvert in 1997. Georges is a charming man who loves any opportunity to use his perfect English and show off his vineyard to Partners and he produces two exclusive, award-winning red and white Anjou wines for us. Our exclusive white Cuvée 1895 is fruity and dry with a hint of lemon, but a small amount of Chardonnay added to the Chenin Blanc gives it a buttery smoothness. The red is a medium-bodied fruity wine with a distinctive blackcurrant and raspberry bouquet.
