Coteaux d'Ancenis AOVDQS is a really great appellation that is regulated for Gamay. Gamay wines from here have real density to them that isn't so common from the Loire.

Winemaking Notes: Made in cuve (there is no oak anywhere on the property). Fermented with natural yeast and has between 0 and 10mg of sulfur added only at bottling depending on the cuvée. The wines are neither fined nor filtered.

About: This is a wonderful domaine that is located in the Loire Valley, halfway between Nantes and Angers. They are one of the older domaines in the region dating back four generations. They farm around 20 hectares of vineyards and have been doing so organically since 1990. They are a member of the Renaissance association and thus have been working biodynamically since 1998.
