Located in the heart of Anjou, this Coteau-du-Layon reveals its full richness through its intense golden color. The wine exudes aromas of honey, acacia, quince, and walnuts. A dense, mineral-driven sweet wine with impeccable aromatic qualities. Pair it with blue-veined cheeses or a dessert featuring yellow fruits.

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces a wide range of white wines. René handles winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vineyards. They aren’t organic, to be sure, but the soil is worked “in their own way.” In the cellar, the same meticulous care prevails, with a variety of tanks of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30-hl wooden tanks by Stockinger…), suited to crafting nuanced and complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate’s greatest strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), which is impeccably balanced.
