Drawing non-botrytised fruit from Quarts de Chaume within Coteaux du Layon, this bottling must be called Anjou Blanc by law. Not to worry, it has all of the great depth of fruit of classic Coteaux without the intense elderflower and honeyed notes of the botrytis-affected fruits. 50+ year-old vines help in this manner, and another layer of complexity comes from the red clay-infused schist soils. The grapes are pressed whole-cluster and will remain with the skins for 8 hours to promote texture and depth. After being transferred to 400L barrels, the wines will undergo a long, cool fermentation and age for about 12 months, during which they're allowed to go through malo-lactic conversion. Heaps of orchard fruits and candied citrus are complemented by white flowers and a classic salty strike.

Born in the heart of the Coteaux du Layon in 1961, Domaine de Bergerie has for its whole existence been a family affair, the fourth generation joining the fold with Anne and Marie completing their studies and helping the estate move toward entirely organic farming. Historically a region known solely for its sweet wines, some of the finest examples of the estate have been their dry wines from the terrific old Chenin Blanc vines.

Domaine de la Bergerie (Anne & Marie Guegniard)

Founded by Marie-Scholastique Horeau in 1961, it was her grandson Yves Guégniard who pushed the quality to a new degree. The estate has alwasys had phenomenal plots but has expanded their holdings into Savennieres, Quarts de Chaume and other choice plots throughout the Loire, always choosing to keep yields low and vinify each plot separately. While this went against the tradition of Coteaux du Layon, they didn't stop there, also choosing to craft dry wines from legendary sweet-wine vineyards. The unctuous nature of the fruits of the region still poke through, and with the family's deep well of knowledge of their vines, the craftsmanship is impeccable.
