"A great sweet wine from the Davy family, a true benchmark!"

"This excellent wine immediately delights with its aromas of quince, mirabelle plum, and candied fruit. These aromas infuse a smooth, silky, elegant, full-bodied, and long finish that is perfectly balanced by freshness. A model of the appellation and sure to remain so for a long time."

About wine:

This excellent wine immediately delights with its aromas of quince, mirabelle plum, and candied fruit. These aromas infuse a smooth, silky, elegant, full-bodied, and long finish that is harmonious throughout and perfectly balanced by freshness. A model of the appellation that will stand the test of time.

About the estate:

This 28-hectare estate, run by the Davy family for five generations, is located on the Corniche Angevine between the Loire and Layon valleys. The old wine cellar is listed (17th century) and the cellar is housed in a disused coal mine, where the wines are left to mature. A sure bet in the Anjou wine region, often in the spotlight for its sweet wines, Coteaux-du-Layon and Quarts-de-Chaume in particular.
