Les Canons

Les Canons is a family story of two brothers-in-law passionate about wine, Florent et Matthieu. 

After having led radically opposed paths, one in a Bordeaux vineyard and one in osteopathy in Angers, both start a new common challenge in 2018, becominges partners to join forces in order to take on a centuries-old profession with modern codes and desires. Les Canons it is also a vineyard firmly established in the heart of the Anjou vineyards, in Bonnezeaux. Clinging to the slopes of the Coteaux du Layon, the company has been family owned for 11 generations. The Anjou region and the richness of its terroirs offer us a complex and refined potential for the production of our wines.

Bonnezeaux

Bonnezeaux, is an PDO of the Loire, appellation of Anjou, sweet white wine. Located south of Angers, this appellation, whose name of Celtic origin evokes ancient ferruginous springs, is ranked among the exceptional terroirs of France. It covers 120 hectares grouped around the commune of Thouarcé, on the right bank of the Layon.

Vigne de Chenin Blanc

White Chenin

Vines occupies the steep slopes of three hillsides on marly and stony soils from which the schist outcrops. Everything here seems to be done to give Chenin Blanc, the only grape variety in the appellation, the best conditions for its expression: an ideal exposure of the vineyard (South, South-West) and morning mists rising from the Layon, thus favouring the over-ripening of the grapes and the appearance of noble rot. The bunches are then harvested by hand by successive sorting.
