What is "Quarts de Chaume"?

[Scoop]

An excellent source of value, in the same vein, is the appellation of Coteaux du Layon, which is the larger region surrounding the tiny districts of Quarts de Chaume and Bonnezeaux in Anjou (across the river from Savennieres). And an excellent producer to seek out is Pierre-Bise: rich and honeyed, yet vivacious, with notes of straw, quince and orange peel...and a mile-long finish.

Enjoy France WDonovan -- at least THEY don't have a transit strike going on at the moment!

Cheers,
