Mathieu Tijou

Loire Valley Chenin Blanc and Cabernet blends with prestige critic recognition.

Mathieu Tijou works in the Loire Valley, where Chenin Blanc and Cabernet-based reds thrive in cool-climate conditions. The winery's Cuvée Sixtine Côteaux du Layon Vieilles Vignes, made from old-vine Chenin Blanc, demonstrates the region's capacity for complex, age-worthy whites. Alongside it sits Champ du Cog Anjou Rouge, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend that captures the Loire's signature red character—structured, mineral-driven, and elegant. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, reflecting their standing within the region's quality tier.
