I can second the recommendation of Domaine de la Bergerie. The proprietor, Yves Guegniard, is very consistent and continues to get better every year. Another vigneron with property on the Coteaux is Jo Pithon, perhaps even better than Guegniard in his good years but he is inconsistent. During 1993-1997, Jo was as good as anyone (Try the 1997 Bonnes Blanches and 1997 Clos de Bois) but his quality fell off for a few years. Beginning with 2001 Jo started to make a comeback. Incidentally, Jo is a leader in the effort to make a dry Chenin Blanc that is a match for the Bourguignon. A recent article, "La Nouvelle Dynamique des Vins d'Anjou", in the Apr-May 2004 issue of Cuisine et Vins de France tries to make the case.
