The man, the myth, the legend, Mark Angéli, used to be a stone mason before herniating a disc on his back which stopped him from continuing his work. One of his final clients paid him in Sauternes which changed the course of his life, inspiring him to seek an education in winemaking and search for vineyards to call his own, finally coming across a plot in Anjou in 1990. Now perhaps the most notorious trailblazers of modern Anjou, Monsieur Angéli has helped many winemakers enter the region, even finding parcels and investment for start-up vignerons.
