Domaine des Deux Vallées

Nestled along the Angers coastal road overlooking the Loire and Layon valleys, the new winery of the Deux Vallées Estate dominates. René Socheleau and his son Philippe took over and modernized the 44-hectare estate, which consists of a mosaic of predominantly schist-based soils. On this exceptional terroir, near the Layon—a tributary of the Loire that brings morning mists—the conditions ideal for the development of noble rot are present, allowing the Chenin to produce one of the finest sweet white wines.
