The red terroir in Anjou

Schist soils and a favorable climate

The Domaine Delaunay vineyards flourish on the schist and clay-limestone soils typical of Anjou. This unique terroir imparts a beautiful minerality and great aromatic finesse red wines . Thanks to a temperate climate, our vines benefit from ideal conditions for producing grapes of exceptional quality.

Emblematic grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay

We primarily cultivate Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Gamay, three grape varieties renowned for their ability to express the unique character of the Anjou terroir. They produce wines that are fruity, light, or more tannic, depending on the vintage. Each vintage reflects the authenticity of our expertise and the unique expression of Loire red wine .
