This lovely Côteaux du Layon Chaume expresses itself powerfully with exotic and fig notes. A hint of freshness is perceptible (rosemary, Provençal herbs). The aromatic palette detected on the nose is reflected on the palate, with density and length.

About the estate:
Roger-François Béguinot, who made his fortune in the baby food industry, and his wife fell in love with Château Soucherie in 2007. This 28-hectare estate is beautifully situated on a south-facing schist hillside between Beaulieu and Rochefort, within the Anjou, Savennières, Coteaux du Layon, and Chaume appellations.
