Our wines

Six ranges, one hillside.

All our wines come from the same schist plots above the Layon. What sets them apart is the date of picking, the patience in the cellar and the hand that sorts. Here is what each range holds, and what we like to serve with it.

Traditional method sparkling

The house sparkling

Our Crémant is made by a second fermentation in the bottle, then a long rest on the lees, the traditional method. Réserve H comes in brut, crisper, and medium-dry, rounder. The rosé is made from cabernet, the sparkling red from gamay.

At the tableAs an aperitif, with a warm fouée, the local bread, or with dessert for the medium-dry.

Sweet whites, Coteaux du Layon

The heart of the estate

The chenin stays on the vine until the berries shrivel and concentrate their sugar. It is picked in several passes, berry by berry in the best years. This gives the Quintessence, the Cuvée du Chef, the Old Vines Rossignolet and the Clos du Grand Goulet.

At the tableWith foie gras, a blue cheese, an apricot tart, or simply well chilled.

Dry whites

Crisp and precise

The same chenin, picked earlier, makes the dry Anjou white. Alongside, a sauvignon and a chardonnay as Vin de France, more direct. The Clos du Puits comes from a schist plot that keeps its freshness.

Rosés

Direct-press rosés

The cabernet is picked a week to ten days before the reds, for freshness. A few hours of skin contact are enough for the colour, then a slow, cool fermentation keeps the fruit. Les Juditions is medium-dry, the Rosé de Loire is dry.

At the tableWith grilled food, charcuterie, spiced dishes.

Reds

Fruity, never heavy

La Haute Orière is a cabernet franc aged in tank, supple and fragrant. The gamay is served cool and young. The Clos du Puits spends time in oak barrels and asks for a little patience.

At the tableWith red meat, a roast, goat cheeses from the Layon.

Late August, three in the morning

We harvest at night.

When the days are hot, the grapes are picked at night. They reach the press cool, the aromas stay in the berry, and fermentation starts without having to chill the tank. The harvester lights up the row while the rest of the hillside sleeps.
