A family estate since 1938, Poussiere de Roche is now run by fourth-generation winemaker Pascal Biotteau. Geographically, the region is divided into two dominant profiles, based on soil types.

The first of these, “Anjou Blanc,” lies toward the west of the appellation, where chalky limestone soils impart a lighter, more energetic expression of Chenin. The second profile, “Anjou Noir,” refers to the dark volcanic schist soils from the easternmost edge of the Massif Armorican, where Chenin assumes a richer, more full-bodied character. Sourced from vineyards that fall exactly along the border of these two sub-regions, these gorgeously subtle wines come from the village of Saint-Jean-de-Mauvrets, situated on the old Roman road from Angers to Poitiers.
