"A perfect balance of freshness, fruit and tannins".

"Laïs 2021 is a great seducer. Behind a hint of reduction, it wears its clothes of red flowers and crushed blackcurrant, with great dynamism on the palate and a lovely acidic persistence." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Brother of the famous Jo Pithon, a leading figure on the Coteaux du Layon in the 1990s, Olivier Pithon fell in love with the terroirs of Calce, where his adventure began in 2001. A fervent biodynamist, he imbues his cuvées with an unmistakable identity, producing wines that are both delicious and easy to enjoy.

Rated wine (guide 2025 ) 93/100

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

Laïs 2021 is a great seducer. Behind a hint of reduction, it is clothed in red flowers and crushed blackcurrant, with great dynamism on the palate and a lovely acidic persistence.

About the domain :

This is the story of a winegrower from Anjou, with a background in Bordeaux, who fell in love with the village of Calce in 2000. In 2001, Olivier Pithon unearthed some 7 hectares in the area and immediately bought his first dynamizer to apply biodynamic practices. The estate will be certified in 2010. Today, it totals 22 hectares on three zones with distinct geologies (schist, marl and clay-limestone). The winery, built just outside the village, also enables the winemaker to vinify his small business with grapes from quality winegrowers who share his philosophy. All the wines are imbued with charm, delicate mouthfeel and energy. Always joyful, expressive and juicy, these cuvées develop extra flesh and tension in the cuvées de garde. A benchmark domaine.
