Distinction: RVF vintage 2011 Great success
This cuvée expresses itself powerfully with aromas of fresh white and yellow fruit (apricots, peaches, mirabelles...), exotic fruit and citrus. The palate is round, velvety and suave, with the same aromas dominated by the freshness of exotic fruits, enhanced by a citrus note that underlines the slightly acidic finish. Exquisite!

Bettane & Desseauve

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

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.
