This estate is located 500 meters from the Château de Martigné-Briand, in the heart of the Coteaux-du-Layon region, and the town is also known as the "little capital" of Anjou rosé wines. Since 1988, Yves Matignon and his sister Hélène have been cultivating 38 hectares of vineyards there.

Tannic, which is why the back label suggests drinking this wine at 12–13°... The fruit is subdued!
