Outside
of Sauternes the Loire Valley is the greatest world producer of non-fortified
sweet wine. The style is somewhat
different to most other sweet wines.
Due to the Chenin Blanc grape's high acidity, Layons and Vouvrays,
when late picked for botrytis, have a wonderful balance of fresh, clean
fruity sweetness and acidity. Never
cloying, these wines can live for many years - 100 years plus in great
vintages. These wines are best drunk
with fruit desserts or on their own at the end of a meal or, like the French,
as a special aperitif. They are
especially good with blue cheeses and foie gras. THE LAYON, AUBANCE AND
COTEAUX de SAUMUR These
are several of the main areas for the sweet whites in Anjou. Both the Layon and Aubance are ambling,
somnolent tributaries of the Loire.
When conditions are right they provide the autumnal morning mists that
helps botrytis to develop. |

BONNEZEAUX
& QUARTS DE CHAUME AND CHAUME
|
These
are the two crus of the Coteaux du Layon and the top growers here produce the
best wines of the Layon. Quarts de
Chaume has just 30 hectares of vines divided between no more than 10 growers.
Bonnezeaux is larger with 80 hectares and the quality is more variable. |

VOUVRAY
MOELLEUX
|
The
appellation lies immediately to the east of Tours, on the north bank of the
Loire. In favourable years the grapes
are affected by botrytis. Vouvray
Moelleux tends to be a little more austere than those from Anjou but has
similarly magnificent ageing potential. |

Half
bottles are a difficult area for restaurants, many suppliers do not have them
and when they do, they will not always be the same vintage as the full
bottles offered. As we import direct
from growers in the Loire Valley, we can and do ask them to specially bottle
some for us. This has met with the odd
refusal and sometimes the premium charged for half bottles can be exorbitant,
but we persevere because our customers like them especially at lunch times. |
