The wine region of Côteaux de l'Aubance
Anjou AOC south of Angers on the left bank of the Loire (~200 ha, shallow schists): Chenin Blanc (Pineau de Loire) reigns exclusively in sweet white — golden robe with green tints, balance between aromatic richness and mineral freshness, delicate bouquet of white-fleshed fruits, honey, candied fruits and quince. Manual harvesting in successive tries of overripe berries, slow fermentation. Morning mists from the Aubance favouring noble rot, 8-10 years ageing.
The wine region of Loire Valley
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: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
