New vintage, 2008 rated: Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
This lovely Côteaux du Layon Chaume expresses itself powerfully with exotic notes and figs. A note of freshness is perceptible (rosemary, Provencal herbs). On the palate, we find the same aromatic palette as on the nose, with density and length.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

Anjou, Savennières, Coteaux-du-Layon and Chaume find here a fine and sincere expression. A sure bet.

About the domain :
Roger-François Béguinot, who made his fortune in baby food, and his wife fell in love with Château Soucherie in 2007. This 28-hectare estate is ideally situated on a south-facing schist slope between Beaulieu and Rochefort, in the Anjou, Savennières, Coteaux du Layon and Chaume appellations.

Note and review by M. BERNARD G. Published on 05/12/2012
This wine is splendid. It has the same effect on the palate as a great Sauternes. Profusion of aromas and flavors. If I could, I'd give it at least 95/100.
