"Aromatic and fruity
Dry and full-bodied, this Anjou Blanc is distinguished as much by its freshness as by its astonishing aromatic finesse, dominated by aromas of white fruit, marshmallow and mirabelle plum paste. Woody notes follow, along with candied apricot. On the palate, the silky texture immediately asserts itself, with a very successful balance of alcohol and acidity. Roundness is accompanied by a burst of freshness and a slight mineral bitterness. Discover it now!

Domaine de Montgilet
Anjou
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable 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 tonalities, reflecting the resonance of blue schists (le-tertereaux), greys (clos-des-huttières) or purples (le-clos-prieur). A friendly address, with low prices. Logically, the range is at its best on the Aubance. The reds are simple and tasty, for immediate pleasure.

About the domain :
This estate on the outskirts of Angers is a benchmark in the region, particularly in terms of "Angevine sweets", with superb coteaux-de-l'aubance on the menu. 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, in a highly integrated way. He manages 75 hectares of slate schist terroir. The sixth generation now supports him.
