TASTING NOTES

This sweet wine is characterized by complex aromas of cooked fruit and honeyed notes. On the palate it is an explosion of flavors, transported by a frame of freshness and great persistence.

WHY WE LIKE IT

This white wine has been vinified from 40-50 year old vines, which give a limited production but which represents a concentrate of flavors and aromas. It is a sweet but intense wine, on the nose it has aromas of cooked fruit, on the palate it releases an explosion of flavors. 

It is a certified organic wine. 

The Anjou and in particular the Côteaux du Layon

A French region renowned for its white and especially rosé wines.

The particular formation of the soil, unique of its kind, composed of ftanite (sedimentary stone), schist, limestone, gravel and sand, allow the vinification of excellent wines, characterized by fruity notes and unique softness, much appreciated in France and throughout the world. .

MATCHING

Excellent on grills and pizzas and for a summer aperitif. To be served slightly cold.

The CELLAR by Pierre Chauvin

Domain Pierre CHAUVIN

The first lands of the Domaine Pierre Chauvin à Côteaux du Layon, in the heart of Anjou (France), were purchased in 1859. Since then 5 generations have succeeded.

Today the Domaine extends over 15 hectares.

Natural and Organic Wine

In the constant concern for respect for the environment, in 2000 the Domaine adhered to the "Terra Vitis" Charter, a French brand that guarantees respect for sustainable environmental agriculture.

In 2005 the whole Domaine was converted toorganic farming (Certified by Bureau Veritas). The first AB certified harvest took place three years later in 2008.

The wine is produced in the most natural way possible, in order to find in the wine all the fruit potential of the grape.
