Chateau de Plaisance Anjou Blanc "Ronceray"

The 250 hectares of vineyards of Château de Plaisance are primarily located in the historic appellations of origin Coteaux du Layon Chaume Premier Cru and Quarts de Chaume grand cru, "dedicated" to Chenin Blanc and sweet wines from botrytis. Increasingly, however, the region is a source of dry wines which are of worldwide interest, but which cannot bear the word Chaume on the label, since this only applies to the well-known sweet wines of the region. 'Ronceray' is a dry Chenin Blanc from vineyard plots on the famous hill, with the wine's name being a reference to the abbey that once owned the piece of land of the Quarts de Chaume. A name adopted by the producers of the area to refer to their dry wines since the reference to Chaume is not allowed for them. A Chenin of amazing texture, with breadth, power and creaminess but perfectly dry and with plenty of acidity that washes over you like a "wave of dew".
