The vineyards are situated on the north bank of the river Loire, in the Anjou-Saumur subregion. [1]

The wines are mostly dry, often produced in a powerful style, and the best examples (such as those produced by Nicolas Joly's Château de la Roche aux Moines) are highly regarded by international wine critics.
