Anjou-Saumur hakkında
Anjou and Saumur, in the middle of the Loire, are the home of Chenin Blanc, which is made dry at Savennières, sweet at the Coteaux du Layon and Quarts de Chaume, and sparkling at Saumur. Cabernet Franc gives the reds of Saumur-Champigny and Anjou, and the region also makes a lot of pink and sparkling wine.
The area splits into black Anjou, on dark schist and volcanic rocks in the west, and white Anjou, on pale tuffeau limestone in the east.

İklim ve terroir
İklim
Oceanic, mild
Mild and fairly dry for the Loire, because the hills of the Armorican Massif to the west shelter it from the wettest weather. Autumn mists favour noble rot in the Layon valley.
