From noble rot with softness: ancestral know-how

A fascinating natural phenomenon

Our fluffy white wines from Loire derive their unique character from an exceptional natural process: the development of Botrytis Cinerea, also known as noble rot. This phenomenon transforms the structure of the grape, intensifying its concentration into sugar and revealing rich and nuanced aromas. This magic operates thanks to a subtle balance between morning humidity and afternoon sun, allowing grapes to gradually wither and concentrate their flavors.

Anjou terroirs: an unrivaled wealth

The hillsides of the Layon , with their clay-limestone and schist soils, create ideal conditions to produce exceptional white wines. The influence of the climate and the nature of the soils allow optimal maturation of the grapes, giving birth to balanced wines, combining freshness and sweetness. These unique terroirs give the wines a subtle minerality which complements their aromatic wealth.

Our selection: finesse and complexity

Wines with subtle and balanced aromas

Our white Loire white wines appeal to their perfect balance between succor and acidity. You will find aromas of exotic fruits, citrus and honey, offering a good length in the mouth and an incomparable elegance. This harmony allows various and surprising agreements, ranging from sweet dishes to salty dishes, such as a Thai curry or roasted poultry with sweet spices.

A respectful viticulture

Our field is engaged in sustainable viticulture and is HVE 3 certified (high environmental value). This certification guarantees production respectful of biodiversity and our terroir, making it possible to obtain authentic and refined wines. We favor cultivation methods promoting soil life and limiting inputs, in order to preserve the purity of our grapes and ensure constant quality.

Thanks to its gourmet notes of candied fruit and honey, our liquorious wine sublimates fruity desserts, pies and almond pastries. It brings a touch of refinement to each bite. Also try it with a crème brûlée or a cheesecake with exotic fruits for an explosion of flavors in the mouth.

FAQ: All about our wines

What is the difference between a soft wine and a sweet wine?

A soft wine has a moderate sugar content, balancing freshness and softness, while a liquorious wine is more concentrated and rich in residual sugars, offering a more opulent texture and an increased aromatic intensity. The distinction is also made according to the vinification methods and the maturation time of the grapes.
