A masterpiece shaped by nature
In the hillsides of the Layon, the miracle of the Botrytis Cinerea transforms the grape into a treasure. Favored by the morning mists of the Layon valley and the sweetness of the Angevin climate, this noble mushroom concentrates sugars and aromas with natural precision. This rare process gives birth to complex and elegant sweet wines, where each vintage reflects the subtleties of its year, between balance, richness and freshness.
Beaulieu-sur-Layon: a terroir with a assertive character

This unique geological configuration promotes a natural concentration of grapes while providing aromatic power and mineral freshness. The natural drainage of the slopes and the richness of the soil allow optimal maturity, giving structured, generous wines with remarkable guard potential.
