A few pics and wines of note from the recent Anges Vins tasting held in St Aubin de Luigné in the heart of the Layon valley.

Anges Vins concentrates on natural and organic wines from Anjou

Chenin rules for the whites and Cabernet Franc for the reds with some interesting Grolleau too

Patrick Baudouin of Domaine Patrick Baudoin – top quality producer making some really fine whites and a delicious Anjou Rouge too

Superb precision and minerality in Les Gâts, a Chenin Blanc that has real class

Great to catch up with Eddy Oosterlinck-Bracke at Domaine Juchepie

Joseph Paillé hard at work and a happy father after the birth of his son Anatole in November. We love all Pithon-Paillés wines – they’re handcrafted, natural and consistently delicious

A smiley Toby Bainbridge of Bainbridge & Cathcart

Cuvée La Danseuse is a lovely fruity petillant and Cuvée Rouge aux Levres (lipstick) a juicy grolleau primeur made from old vines.
