Presentation

The source of the Layon can be found in Cléré-sur-Layon.
The river gave its name to the iconic Coteaux du Layon wine.
Made from Chenin grapes and harvested manually, this is a smooth white wine that pairs beautifully with foie gras, but can also be drunk as an aperitif or with dessert.

There’s no shortage of rosés to choose from. You’ll love the refined and indulgent Cabernet d’Anjou, the fresh and fruity Rosé d’Anjou or the drier, refreshing Rosé de Loire.
If you’re a meat and cheese lover, Anjou Rouge and Anjou Villages would be perfect for you.

For celebratory occasions or just for the sheer pleasure of it, try a Crémant de Loire whose elegantly fine bubbles can be found in whites and rosés, brut or demi-sec.
