Anjou

Anjou refuses to choose: its houses split between austere dry reds and luscious chenin blancs, between still wines and sparkling, between what the Loire demands and what the vintage allows. That productive tension—neither fully committed to sweetness nor dryness—is what keeps the region restless and alive.
