Note: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine)
“Here is the Anjou-Villages, a remarkable 2008 vintage, boasting a magnificent, intense red color verging on black. The bold aromas of red and black fruits suggest a well-ripened harvest. Supple on the palate, full-bodied, rich, powerful, and concentrated, this wine can be enjoyed now or in one to two years...” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2011)
