Gault & Millau
A new vintage, the 2011 was rated: Gault Millau 15/20
This white Anjou opens on the nose with aromas of yellow fruits—apricot and peach in particular—honey, and freshly cut white flowers. A full-bodied and smooth wine on the palate with notes of acacia and almond, it pairs beautifully with pan-seared scallops, for example, and most types of seafood...

Wine rated (2012 guide) 15/20 (2011 vintage) (Very Good)
5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)
About the estate:
Built in the 15th century in the town of Rochefort-sur-Loire, this 23-hectare estate belongs to Alain Château’s Vignobles Germain et Associés group, as does Château Bellerive. Located in the Coteaux du Layon-Chaume appellation—which has just been designated “Chaume 1er Cru”—Alain Château enlisted Michel Doucet to craft the wines. After serving many different purposes over the years, the château is now a charming guesthouse, offering visitors a pleasant getaway in the region and the chance to taste fine Coteaux du Layon wines. The Chaume 1er Cru is a true masterpiece, with an intense and very rich body, as well as a subtle bitter note that lends it greater complexity and balance.
