Coteaux du Layon – Vieilles Vignes

🪨 A great sweet wine of terroir

This Coteaux du Layon Vieilles Vignes comes from the Gâts plot, on the schists of the Anjou noir. This unique terroir gives the wine depth, tension, and minerality.

Old vines produce little. They naturally concentrate the material and preserve the balance of Chenin Blanc.

🍇 The wine

The Chenin Blanc from old vines reveals its deepest expression here. The schists provide a mineral framework that balances the richness and extends the finish. The body is ample and precise.
