The Chauvin’s 20-43-year-old vines are planted to schist and limestone soils across the appellations of Anjou and Coteaux du Layon. They harvest their grapes manually and the wines are vinified in a combination of concrete and fiberglass-lined underground tanks. Clayou’s white wines are crisp, clean and full of lively fruit spending six months in stainless resting on fine lees with occasional battonage.
