"Aromatic and fruity
Sec et gras, cet Anjou blanc s’illustre autant par sa fraîcheur que par une étonnante finesse aromatique, dominée par des arômes de fruits blancs, de guimauve et de pâte de mirabelle. Le bois s’impose ensuite en même temps que l’abricot confit. En bouche, la texture soyeuse s’affirme d’emblée, avec un équilibre alcool acidité très réussi. La rondeur s’accompagne d’un élan de fraîcheur à la légère amertume minérale. À découvrir sans plus attendre !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Noted domain 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Victor and Vincent Lebreton are faithful interpreters of Coteaux-de-l'Aubance. The brothers took over the family estate in 1986 and now cultivate 60 hectares of vines on different plots and types of schist. The result is parcel-based cuvées with subtle tones, reflecting the resonance of blue schists (le-tertereaux), greys (clos-des-huttières) or purples (le-clos-prieur). A friendly address, with low prices. The range is at its best on the Aubance, as is only logical. The reds are simple and tasty, for immediate pleasure.

Vincent Lebreton, who has been at the helm since 1995, runs the estate created by his grandfather, Victor, and developed by his father, also Victor, and manages 75 hectares of slate schist terroir in a highly sustainable manner. The sixth generation now supports him.
