Anjou-Saumur covers a broad stretch of Loire wine. Chenin Blanc runs from the dry, structured wines of Savennières to the sweet wines of Coteaux du Layon, Quarts de Chaume, Bonnezeaux and Chaume. Saumur adds sparkling wine, while Saumur and Saumur-Champigny also bring Cabernet Franc reds with freshness, red fruit and savoury grip. The area includes Saumur-Puy-Notre-Dame, Anjou, Savennières-Roche-aux-Moines and Savennières-Coulée-de-Serrant as well.
