Anjou-Coteaux de la Loire
An integral part of Anjou noir, the area extends over the south-eastern part of the Armorican Massif, with shallow brown soils. The terroir thus delimited corresponds to a situation of well-exposed and ventilated hillsides that favor early vegetation and allow for overripe harvests.

Location
Downstream from Angers, 11 communes have the privilege of producing this appellation on slopes with schist or limestone soils. The vines cover some 50 hectares.
To remember
Chenin: Chenin produces fine, elegant wines with a liveliness or freshness due to its natural acidity, and a complexity due to its broad aromatic palette. Particularly sensitive to its terroir, the vintage effect and, of course, the talent of its winemaker, it seems to have a vocation or predestination: "never tire, always surprise". A true "passeur de terroir", it reveals in every sip the history and richness of the soils of which it is the faithful ambassador!
With their pretty yellow color and golden highlights, Anjou-Coteaux de la Loire wines have a pleasant nose and release aromas of ripe fruit and elegant floral notes. Depending on their origin, they will present animal notes if they come from a schist terroir, or mineral notes if they come from a limestone soil. Excellent wines for laying down, they develop notes of honey and candied fruit over time.
