Anjou is most celebrated for its white wines, particularly the sweet and luscious wines produced in the Coteaux du Layon and Quarts de Chaume appellations. These wines are famous for their honeyed, floral, and fruity characteristics. Anjou also excels in the production of dry and off-dry Chenin Blanc wines, which showcase a balance of acidity and fruitiness.

For red wines, the region offers lighter and fruit-driven Cabernet Franc wines, which are vibrant and food-friendly. Additionally, rosé wines, often made from the Grolleau grape, are popular and refreshing choices.

Anjou's charming vineyards, historic towns, and beautiful countryside make it a wonderful destination for wine enthusiasts seeking to explore the flavors of this captivating wine region.
