“Les Rouères”

"Les Rouères" is one of the three plots originally listed in the decree creating the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation. Our plot covers nearly 3 Ha of the area, exposed on the South-Eastern slope of the rump of Quarts-de-Chaume.

In exceptional vintages only, we perpetuate the tradition and produce a sweet wine from this single plot. The magic the Quarts-de-Chaume terroir (sunny South-facing hillside, exposed to the morning mists of the Layon river and aerated by constant winds) then operates ... resulting in a botrytis of rare concentration.

The puddingstone soils give a spherical and solar character to this cuvée.
