A.O.C./A.O.P.

46 towns and villages within the Anjou appellation area are entitled to this red wine only appellation. Anjou-Villages differ from red Anjou both for their varietal range and wine making practices: there is no Pineau d’Aunis and vatting and ageing last longer. Another point of difference is that ‘Villages’ wines cannot be released until September 15th a year after the harvest. The best sites are located south of Angers, around Brissac, Thouarcé and Martigné-Briand…

The wines of this appellation

made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, these wines are fruity and well-structured, and improve with age. Their hue ranges from crimson to garnet-red and they display fragrances of red fruit (blackberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, cherry), undergrowth and spices, leading into leather and fruit stone over time. Try with game, fish in a red wine sauce, roast or grilled red meat or cheeses.
