Vincent Ogereau rigorously harvest grapes healthy (no botrytis on dry) with a (wide) range tricolor uniform. The expression of the fruit is accurate in its entries range, a rare quality in the region. His best terroirs, the Good White, gives one of the most comprehensive and unctuous coteaux-du-layon, which s'abonnira about 15 years minimum. His arrival on Savennières (Clos du Grand Beaupréau) participates in the expected revival of the appellation. Prices are wise, bravo.

The wines: Jill arrives, rewarding a journey without fault in vintages as varied as 2005 and 2006, and with a successful designations as diverse as the soft Cabernet d'Anjou, dry Savennières or dense red Anjou Villages, so less rustic than elsewhere. Bravo for the accuracy aromatic cuisine in small vintages and minerals in the civilized wines (Super Grand Beaupréau 2005, and the deep red Houssaye 2005), so just at the table. The rides, fruit, sugar and dense without heaviness, round off a range crescendo and generous.
