Domaine de La Roche Moreau - Coteaux du Layon Chaume 1er Cru 2023

"A great sweet wine from the Davy family, a true benchmark!"
This essential estate is once again at the top of the appellation and has been named a Favorite the third consecutive year. After its Saint-Aubin 2022, here we have its Premier Cru, which is also regularly in the spotlight. With notes of quince, candied apricot, acacia blossom, and honey, the 2023 vintage is a great sweet wine, open and shimmering, long, full-bodied, rich, intense, and perfectly balanced between sweetness and freshness. While it provides immediate (great) pleasure, it will easily stand the test of time." (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About wine:
This must-have estate is once again at the top of the appellation and has been named a Favorite the third consecutive year. After its Saint-Aubin 2022, here comes its Premier Cru, which is also regularly in the spotlight.

While it provides immediate (great) pleasure, it will easily stand the test of time.
About the estate:
This 28-hectare estate, run by the Davy family for five generations, is located on the Corniche Angevine between the Loire and Layon valleys. The old wine cellar is listed (17th century) and the cellar is housed in a disused coal mine, where the wines are left to mature. A sure bet in the Anjou wine region, often in the spotlight for its sweet wines, Coteaux-du-Layon and Quarts-de-Chaume in particular.
