Domaine de la Roche Moreau, AOP Chaume 1er Cru (Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné, Corniche Angevine). André Davy, fifth generation. The Chaume 1er Cru AOC — granted AOC status in 2011 — covers a delimited area in Rochefort-sur-Loire, where shallow soils over schist, sandstone and quartz on south-facing slopes favour drainage and noble rot; yields capped at 25 hl/ha. HVE certified since 2018. Aged in caves carved into a former coal mine ensuring stable conditions. 100% Chenin Blanc.
Hand-harvested in successive passes from October through mid-November, selecting only overripe and botrytised grapes. Slow, temperature-controlled fermentation. Aged on fine lees. 12% ABV, 134.6 g/L residual sugar.

The Davy family has been in Saint-Aubin for five generations, on the Corniche angevine, the ridge that separates the Loire valley from the Layon valley. Twenty-eight hectares.
The house occupies two buildings unusual for a winery. The first is a listed seventeenth-century manor, which serves as the cellar. The second is a disused coal mine: the wines rest and age in its galleries.
They keep vintages going back to 1980.
They make every appellation of the area, Chaume and Quarts de Chaume among them. Picking is done entirely by hand, and for the Coteaux du Layon, the Chaume 1er Cru and the Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru they go through the same vineyard several times, picking in successive passes: noble rot does not advance evenly across the berries, so each has to be fetched when it is ready.
They farm on reasoned lines, with natural grass cover between the rows.
