Chateau Soucherie, Layon (near Angers), hosted our enology class. The Tijou family, owner of the property, collects all the grape by hand.We started the fantastic experience at 9 am, each participant was given a bucket and scissors and off we went! We harvested Cabernet Franc grapes.
By lunchtime, we had harvested 5000 kilos of grapes – that will give a total of about 5000 bottles of Red Anjou.
The Tijou family knows what hospitality is and we were offered a consistent buffet of regional and home made food accompanied by a lavish display of the property wine production.
