Domaine de La Roche Moreau - Coteaux du Layon Chaume 1er Cru 2023
3*Coup de Coeur

Médaille d'Or
Concours Paris
"The Davy family's Grand Liquoreux is a true benchmark!
"This essential domaine is once again at the top of the appellation, winning a Favorite for the third year running. After its Saint-Aubin 2022, we now turn our attention to its 1ercru, also regularly in the spotlight. Carried by notes of quince, candied apricot, acacia flower and honey, the 2023 version is a great liquoreux, full-bodied and shimmering, long, ample, rich, intense and perfectly balanced between sugar and freshness. If it gives immediate (great) pleasure, it will stand the test of time without difficulty". (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the domain :
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 storehouse is listed (17th c.) and the cellar is housed in a disused coal mine, where the ageing wines mature. A sure bet in Anjou viticulture, often in the spotlight for its sweet wines, coteaux-du-layon and quarts-de-chaume in particular.
