Dry and full-bodied, this white Anjou stands out as much for its freshness as for its surprising aromatic finesse, dominated by notes of white fruit, marshmallow, and mirabelle plum paste. The oak then comes to the fore alongside candied apricot. On the palate, the silky texture is immediately apparent, with a very well-balanced interplay of alcohol and acidity. Its roundness is accompanied by a burst of freshness with a slight mineral bitterness. Don’t wait to discover it!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Victor and Vincent Lebreton are true ambassadors of the Coteaux-de-l’Aubance. The brothers took over the family estate in 1986 and cultivate 60 hectares of vineyards across various plots and types of schist soil. This allows them to craft single-vineyard wines with subtle nuances, reflecting the character of the blue schist (Le Tertereaux), gray schist (Clos-des-Huttières), or purple schist (Le Clos-Prieur). A welcoming estate with reasonable prices. The range naturally shines brightest with the Aubance. The reds are simple and approachable, focused on immediate enjoyment.

About the estate:
This estate, located just outside Angers, is a regional benchmark, particularly for its “Angevin delicacies,” featuring superb Coteaux-de-l’Aubance wines on the menu. At the helm of the estate founded by his grandfather, Victor, and developed by his father, also named Victor, Vincent Lebreton—who has been in charge since 1995—manages (in a very thoughtful manner) 75 hectares of slate-schist terroir. The sixth generation is now working alongside him.
