"This is a dry, very dry Anjou. Flavors bursting with citrus fruits, very incisive and long-lasting, awaken our taste buds. The firm, straightforward chewiness takes over, thanks to a lively finish. (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). An elegant, fine white, with a silky texture and balance that hangs on a thread. Good acidity and little fat promote a fine mineral tension on the finish... A real treat!
