Located in Chalonnes-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Anjou Noir region, Domaine des Coteaux Blancs owes its name to its steep slopes, which were once dotted with white stones that have since disappeared. These steep, sun-drenched slopes—some with gradients exceeding 40%—constitute a demanding terroir, perfectly suited to the expression of Chenin, the estate’s flagship grape variety.

The vineyard spans some twenty hectares and produces a range of wines that are quintessentially Loire Valley: fine Chenin Blancs, as well as Anjou Rouge, Coteaux du Layon, Cabernet d’Anjou, Rosé de Loire, and Crémant de Loire. The soils, which are highly diverse, alternate between schist, sandstone, sand, and ancient alluvial deposits, yielding wines with subtle and nuanced expressions depending on the specific plot.

Recently taken over by a new team, the estate draws on solid expertise to best showcase its terroirs. Vineyard management and winemaking are carried out with an eco-responsible approach, with a strong focus on biodiversity and minimizing inputs. Having been in the process of converting to organic farming for several years, the estate will produce its first certified organic harvest in 2024, marking a key milestone in a project firmly focused on precision, freshness, and clarity in its wines.
