Faszinierende Weine von der Loire
Am Atlantik geht es los: Muscadet Sèvre et Maine hat eigentlich viel Säure, bekommt aber durch zwei Jahre (!) auf der Hefe eine cremige, stoffige Dichte und aromatische Komplexität. Die Rebsorte hinter dem Muscadet ist Melon de Bourgogne und gehört zur Familie der Pinot (Burgunder). Es lohnt sich nicht nur die ganz frischen Muscadets zu trinken, sondern die hochwertigen Cru.
Etwas weiter landeinwärts wechselt die Rebsorte. Hier kommt Chenin Blanc. Für Franzosen als Edelrebsorte ein Begriff kann Chenin Blanc bei guter Arbeit der Winzer ausgezeichnete Weissweine von trocken bis edelsüss hervorbringen. Oft feincremig mit Aromen von Honigmelone, orientalischen Gewürzen.
Nach Chenin Blanc folgen an der Loire Cabernet Franc für seidig-würzige, leichtgewichtige Rotweine in Anjou und schließlich Sauvignon Blanc mit viel Mineralität und feiner Eleganz in Saumur und dann Sancerre, Quincy und Pouilly Fumé.

Instead of fermenting the wine a second time with the addition of yeast and sugar, as in all other methods, only one fermentation takes place in this method. Naturally a brut nature, i.e. without dosage, pure Chardonnay with intense exotic aromas, full body, fruity with fine perlage.

Adèle Rouzé has 5.4 hectares of the best Sauvignon Blanc soil in Quincy: alluvial (alluvial) terraces with quartz gravel that produce a thoroughly dry, mineral Sauvignon Blanc. Compared to the very puristic white wine of her brother Jacques Rouze, Adèle's only wine shines with more body and fine citrus and floral aromas. The four-month aging on the fine yeast (sur lie) provides the basis for this.
The proximity to the city of Bourges as well as the limestone soils, which are favorable for viticulture and similar to those in Sancerre, 60 km away, had a beneficial effect on the development of viticulture. Today, 223 hectares (as of 2005) of a total of 1000 hectares of approved vineyards are planted. The area is divided into the municipalities of Quincy (the eponymous municipality) and Brinay. The wine has had the status of an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée since August 6, 1936. 25 winegrowers share the vineyards. The climate is continental. Winters are cold and the vineyards are at high risk of frost in spring. The proximity of the Loire with the adjacent forests and steep slopes enable viticulture through their tempering influence. The very small Quincy wine region, which was famous over 100 years ago, produces exclusively white wines from Sauvignon Blanc.

Viticulture in the Layon area was developed by Dutch traders in the 16th century. The wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc grape variety. The temperate oceanic and particularly dry climate, combined with the shallow and pebbly soils that warm up quickly, offer ideal conditions for the development of noble rot. The slopes are well ventilated and allow overripe grapes to be harvested with a very high sugar content (90g of residual sugar in the wine). The berries have to be collected manually in several harvesting stages. The golden yellow color changes to old gold with amber reflections as it ages.
