Anjou Château de Putille 1996
The Anjou Château de Putille 1996 is a dry white wine produced by E.A.R.L. Château de Putille, under the direction of Pascal Delaunay. Bottled directly at the property, this wine holds the Appellation Anjou Contrôlée classification, representing the classic viticultural practices of the area.
Located in the western part of the Loire Valley around the city of Angers, Anjou is one of the largest appellations in the region and was granted AOC status in 1936. The area benefits from a transitional climate, shifting between oceanic and continental influences, with mild temperatures and significant rainfall moderated by the Loire River. The terroir is distinctly divided into two main soil types: the dark schist and volcanic rocks of the Anjou Noir to the west, and the light chalk and tuffeau stone of the Anjou Blanc to the east.
The broader Loire region follows France's longest river and is historically renowned for its Renaissance castles. The cool climate of the valley is fundamental to the local viticulture, providing the ideal conditions for producing a wide variety of wine styles across the region.

Loire
The Loire Valley follows France's longest river and is known for its Renaissance châteaux. The long region holds enormous variety: crisp Muscadet by the coast, Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, versatile Chenin Blanc in Vouvray, and Cabernet Franc reds from Chinon. The cool climate produces fresh, lively wines, both dry, sweet and sparkling.
