Terre de l’Élu: Tasting & Drinking
Thomas Carsin has taken in hand a domaine that was, I strongly suspect, not being managed in a manner which pulled every possible ounce of quality from the harvested fruit, and in the space of just a few short years he has turned life in this little corner of Anjou around. The vineyard has been consolidated and expanded, probably second nature to Thomas, and what is more the vines have been successfully converted to organics. In the chai, where Thomas works with minimal intervention, the wines are solid and flavoursome representations of their respective varieties and their appellations. These are not the simple, fruit-dominant wines that can be found coming from some domaines that lean towards more ‘natural’ ways of working. They are convincing, structured, fresh and defined wines, and I am happy that despite missing the domaine more than a few years ago, I subsequently discovered it. It has been no hardship keep tabs on the wines of Thomas Carsin.
