The wine region of Quarts de Chaume

The only Grand Cru of the Loire Valley (2011, ~40 ha in Anjou-Layon): 100% Chenin as extraordinarily complex, multi-decade sweet wines. Golden to old-gold robe, aromas of candied fruit, honey, quince and saffron notes. Successive manual tries of botrytised bunches (Botrytis cinerea), minimum 298 g/L sugar before fermentation, maximum yield 20 hl/ha. South-facing slope above morning mists of the Layon river — exceptional botrytis on draining Brioverian schists.

Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.

The word of the wine: Passerillage

Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
