Anjou presents to you:
- The white wines of the Savennieres and Coteaux de la Loire, where the Chenin Blanc grape produces one of the five greatest French dry white wines.
- The sweet and supple wine to keep of the Coteaux de l’Aubance.
- The Coteaux du Layon where the Chenin Blanc ripens and over ripens and is affected by noble rot. It is this that results in a beautiful golden wine as smooth and as rich as velvet.
- The Rosés, the Anjou Villages and the Anjou Red: fresh Rosés are especially great to drink outdoors; the Anjou Village wine has a characteristic deep red colour and silky tannins; Anjou Red is a lighter, younger wine, supple and full.
- The Saumur wines, a whole region of whines with a diverse production of whites, reds and sparkling.
- And also to discover: the Coteaux du Loir and the Jasnières.
