"A dazzling success!
"Combining great ripeness and finesse, this rich, powerful liquoreux, aged without the addition of wood, displays superb balance. We're already enjoying its notes of preserved lemon, milk jam, apricot and mango, and its ample, long and delicate palate, which stretches out its fruit with finesse. Concentration never takes over, and freshness is always present. A monument, to be reserved for itself or with a light dessert such as a citrus or summer fruit salad." (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

About the wine:
Combining great ripeness and finesse, this rich, powerful liquoreux, aged without the use of wood, displays superb balance. We're already enjoying its notes of candied lemon, milk jam, apricot and mango, and its ample, long and delicate palate, which stretches out its fruit with finesse. Concentration never takes over, and freshness is always present. A monument, to be reserved for itself or with a light dessert such as a citrus or summer fruit salad.
About the domain :
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 storehouse is listed (17th c.) and the cellar is housed in a disused coal mine, where the ageing wines mature. A sure bet in Anjou viticulture, often in the spotlight for its sweet wines, coteaux-du-layon and quarts-de-chaume in particular.
