Bonnezeaux

Bonnezeaux is an AOC located in the Loire Valley of France, specifically within the Anjou-Saumur region. It is for producing sweet dessert wines primarily from the Chenin Blanc grape, which benefits from the region's unique microclimate and botrytis cinerea. The appellation is situated on the banks of the Loire River, characterized by its schist and clay soils that contribute to the complexity of the wines. Bonnezeaux wines are typically harvested late to achieve optimal ripeness and are known for their rich, honeyed flavors and balancing acidity.
