"A great liquoreux for pleasure and sharing, a superb success!"
"A Favorite to add to a very long list for the Socheleau family, specialists in Anjou sweets. This liquoreux immediately seduces with its devilishly gourmand aromas of stewed and overripe fruit, fig, date and apricot in particular. On the palate, the wine is rich, fat, full-bodied and complex, but never heavy, with a lovely mentholated freshness and remarkable persistence. A great pleasure wine to share, now and in the decade to come". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2025).

About the wine:
Favorite is the latest in a very long line of wines from Socheleau, specialists in Anjou sweets. This liquoreux immediately seduces with its devilishly gourmand aromas of stewed and overripe fruit, fig, date and apricot in particular. On the palate, the wine is rich, fat, full-bodied and complex, but never heavy, with a lovely mentholated freshness and remarkable persistence. A great pleasure wine to share, now and in the decade to come.
About the domain :
René Socheleau and his son Philippe took over and restructured this 44-hectare estate in 2001, building a new winery on the Anjou corniche overlooking the Loire and Layon valleys. Their wines are regularly featured in the Guide.
