Château de Plaisance

Vanessa Cherruau

At the heart of the Anjou appellation is the Chateau de Plaisance, the vineyards are located in Chaumes, Quarts de Chaume and Savennières. From 1995 organically working and from 2008 even biodynamic. Vanessau Cherruau took over the domain in 2019 and continues the company in the same philosophy. Plaisance is a unique place with a unique terroir. A total of 25 hectares of vineyards, of which 20 hectares of chenin on soils rich in schist, spilite and sandstone. In the vineyards everything is done to stimulate biodiversity and the attention is there to plant more and more trees (agroforestry). This will only benefit the biodiversity around the domain. In the cellar, work is carried out with minimal intervention and minimal addition of sulphite. Website: www.chateaudeplaisance.com

French Wines

Many famous and very special wines are made in France. It is perhaps the wine country with the greatest wines and grapes. From the north east to the border with Spain, wines are made from many different grape varieties. Wine is part of the country's culture and a meal without wine is unthinkable here. French wine regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Loire, Alsace, Jura and Languedoc are just a few of the unique wine regions that can be found in the country.

French red wine

The main grapes for red wine in France are, without wanting to discredit any other grape variety: pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. Pinot noir is the grape variety of Burgundy and great French wines such as Volnay, Pommard, Corton and Clos de Vougeot are made from this grape variety. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot are mainly planted in Bordeaux, the region of Saint-Emilion and Margaux. Finally, Syrah is the basis for the great wines from the northern Rhône, such as the famous wines Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage.

French White Wine

White wines are of course made throughout the country, but the most important areas for white wine are Loire, Burgundy and Alsace. Three wine regions located further north in France. Here, French wine is made from well-known grape varieties such as chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and riesling, but also from lesser-known varieties such as aligoté, chasselas, gewurztraminer and melon de bourgogne. Chardonnay is the basis for the white wines from Burgundy and in the Loire there are fine examples of the sauvignon grape from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, for example.

French sparkling wines

In addition to the still wines, France is of course known for the sparkling wines that are made in Champagne, of course, but also in the Loire, Jura, Alsace and Burgundy. In Champagne, chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier form the basis of sparkling wines made with the classic second fermentation in the bottle. We offer you several sparkling wines from France, most of which are certified organic and are perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to various dishes.
