Appellation Anjou-Villages
Anjou-Villages, a land of vines for over 2000 years
The AOC Anjou-Villages is located in the Massif Armoricain, straddling the departments of Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres.
Anjou has been home to a vineyard since the 1st century AD, surely due to its ideal geographical location. Indeed, the AOC enjoys an oceanic climate, a climate that is therefore relatively mild and temperate, thanks to the Loire River which acts as a thermal regulator on the one hand, and thanks to the location of the appellation on coasts which protect the vines from the humid winds coming from the west on the other.
The AOC benefits from schist and clay-schist soils, which allows the vines to root deep to find underground water.
Until the 19th century on the other hand, white wines were produced in the majority. Plantations of Cabernet franc and Cabernet-sauvignon developed towards the end of the 19th century, to produce a "rouget", a local wine served in the region's cafés. This was the beginning of the transformation of the vineyard.
AOC Anjou-Villages, how to taste it?
Wines bearing this appellation have a cherry red robe, an intense dark red, almost black. Anjou-Villages develops thanks to the Cabernet franc floral scents, iris and violet in particular. As for the Cabernet-sauvignon, it brings notes of red and black fruits. It will move towards scents of smoothness and undergrowth as it ages. On the palate, the Anjou-Villages is fleshy and full with balanced tannins.
This dry red wine will go very well with game such as venison or wild boar, poultry in sauce and grilled red meats. It will also accompany cheeses of character such as Saint Nectaire or Brie de Meaux.
