Don David Late Harvest Torrontes 2010

Domaine Ogereau Coteaux Du Layon St Lambert 2015

This is the main dessert wine of the Domaine, produced from Chenin Blanc vines that are 25 to 85 years old. The area picked represents 5 ha with a low yield of 29 hl/ha on average. The late picked grapes are slowly pressed at the cellar before the fermentations which are done in stainless steel vats over 3 to 4 months at cellar temperature. The wine is aged in stainless still vats for 6 months. The result is a wine with 12% alcohol and 80 to 120 g/l of residual sugar depending on the vintage and the yields.

Yellow in colour, white flowers and tropical fruits on the nose, hints of honey and citrus aromas. The natural freshness in the wine brings balance and a pleasant acidity on the long finish. A great wine as an aperitif, it may be cellared for up to 10 years.

Domaine Ogereau was created in 1890, it is located at Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay about 20 minutes by car south of Angers. Since 1989, Vincent OGEREAU with his wife Catherine is the 4th generation to manage the Domaine of 26 ha. Vincent is a hard worker and produces wines with passion, as he says “to make great wine you must have excellent grapes. We concentrate on producing the best possible grapes that reflect both their terroir and the particular character of each vintage”. Vincent managers to show the quality of each terroir and vintage through his 3 premium wines: Côteaux du Layon saint Lambert “Clos des Bonnes Blanches” – Anjou Villages “Côte de la Houssaye” – Savennières “Clos Le Grand Beaupréau” and in the near future the new Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru “La Matinière”.

Since early 2015, his son Emmanuel representing the 5th generation is officially involved in the Domaine as he will be taking over from his parents in the years to come. During the previous 5 years, Emmanuel spent some time away from home for work experience in the South of France, Rhône Valley, Oregon USA and even New Zealand. He also accomplished a Diploma in viticulture and like his father he is a strong believer of the terroir’s potentials.
