Descrizione

From the enchanting region of the Loire Valley, comes the Coteaux du Layon Faye d'Anjou Varennes, a dessert wine produced by the renowned Chateau de Bois Brincon. This refined wine is primarily obtained from the Chenin Blanc grape variety, famous for its ability to beautifully reflect the terroir and climatic conditions of each vintage.

Characterized by a bright golden color, the Coteaux du Layon Faye d'Anjou Varennes enchants the nose with a complex and intense bouquet. It offers a blend of aromas ranging from notes of ripe fruit such as peach and apricot, to hints of honey and white flowers, with a slight touch of vanilla derived from the maturation process.

On the palate, the wine is sumptuously sweet but never cloying, thanks to a well-balanced freshness that supports its structure. The taste sensations confirm the olfactory impressions, with a long and pleasantly aromatic finish that allows the sweet and fruity flavors to persist.

Ideal as a companion for desserts, particularly fruit tarts and blue cheeses, this wine is also perfect to enjoy on its own, as a sublime conclusion to a meal.

Winery history

The earliest viticultural records for the area date back to 1219, when the Chapter of Saint John the Baptist of Angers planted vines on the Bois-Brinçon lands. After several changes of ownership, the Cailleau family acquired the site in the late 19th century. In the 20th century production paused and was decisively resumed by Xavier Cailleau in the early 1990s. In the 2000s the estate began converting to organic farming and incorporated biodynamic practices, gradually developing parcel-by-parcel production that showcases the different terroirs.

Production philosophy

The estate emphasizes vineyard biodiversity and fruit quality: organic and biodynamic practices, compost made from grape pomace kept separate by terroir, the use of herbal infusions and plant decoctions to stimulate vine defenses, and the presence of grazing animals as an element of balance. Vinification is focused on expressing individual sites through single-parcel cuvées.
