Comment

The castle of Montguéret, located in Nueil-sur-Layon, was built in 1880 in a Napoleon III style, combining the Saumur tuffeau, the Angevin shale and the Sévrienne brick. The history of the Montguéret castle has always been linked to wine. It was in 1987 that André and Dominique Lacheteau took charge of the destiny of the castle to make it revive its ashes. They made significant investments in order to have the best production tool and built their vineyard with a single concern: respect for the typicity of the terroir. The wines that make the famous castle are above all its whites, appearing among the most successful in Sauvignon. Its red wines are also very surprising. The wines of Anjou and Coteaux du Layon are located in the three municipalities where the Layon winds: Cléré, Nueil and Passevant. This castle, located in Anjou, is operated according to the specific specifications.

Tasting

Good-holding wine, structured but flexible, balanced and giving off beautiful aromas of red fruits. Characteristic wine of a very ripe harvest. Its scents and velvety tannins will delight your palace.
