There are a number of wine appellations within the Anjou header covering both sweet and dry whites and rosés, as well as reds. Rosé d'Anjou AOC is made predominantly with Grolleau grapes. Historically it was an extremely sweet wine though nowadays it is usually more balanced with some off-dry wines. Cabernet d'Anjou is the second rosé wine appellation in the area, made from Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc grapes and together these two wines make up the majority of rosés in this famous region. Red wines fall under the Anjou-Villages appellation, made with Cabernet Franc grapes and can be full-bodied, reasonably priced wines. Anjou's dry white is predominantly the popular Anjou Blanc containing at least 80% Chenin Blanc grapes. Some sweet whites are made under Anjou-Coteaux de la Loire.
