Domaine Ogereau - Coteaux du Layon - Saint Lambert 2022

IN ORGANIC CONVERSION

Key words: Wealth / Gluttony / Digestibility

Wine : This chenin sweet wine comes from a great schist terroir specializing in the making of magnificent sweet wines. Here, the morning mists favor the development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), allowing the berries to concentrate in sugars and aromas. This particular climate, combined with the very precise selection of grapes at the beginning of over-ripeness by the Ogereau family, offers us a cuvée rich, greedy but perfectly balanced and ending in a very digestible finish. Aromas of honey, acacia, peach, apricot and candied mandarin emerge from this intoxicating bottle. A great delight!

The estate: Slocated in Val-du-Layon to the south of Angers, on domaine Ogereau today reaches 24 hectares and has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2019. Emmanuel and his parents produce wines of all colors in AOC Anjou, Anjou-Villages, Savennières, Côteaux-du-Layon and Quarts-de-Chaume. Thanks to Vincent Ogereau, the property has built a solid reputation since the 1980s and produces wines where the terroir is expressed in a great precision. Since 2014, it is Emmanuel (5^th generation) who continues this work of constant identity research. The harvest is manual, indigenous yeasts and the use of sulfur in winemaking is minimal. The terroir is mainly composed of shales, sands as well as volcanic rocks. The range of wines is wide, but the minerality, the richness of the fruit and the class of aging are strong markers of this great estate in Anjou.
