Expert opinion

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2025) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Here's an Anjou that honors the chenin grape and illustrates its simplicity with a beautiful aromatic bouquet of yellow fruit, white flowers, lemon and pineapple. Round, fresh and taut on the palate, it's ready to drink.

About the domain :

Run by the younger generation, Stéphane, Julien and Vincent Denis, who arrived in 2003, 2006 and 2009 respectively, this is a family business that dates back to 1920; 5 ha at its origins, 90 ha today. A flagship estate in the Haut-Layon region, renowned in particular for its red wines, but also very much at ease with white and rosé wines. A (very) safe bet.

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

This wine has a fragrant nose of quince, lilac, honeysuckle and candied apple. Richly textured, its ginger and vanilla notes are enhanced by pear and balanced acidity. This wine has a structure and backbone that demands to be taken seriously.
