Coteaux du Layon: These vineyards, located on the left side of the Loire near Champs sur Layon, have a southern orientation and an Atlantic micro climate that produces exceptional Chenin Blanc.  The soil is a blend of clay and chalk that enhances the textures of this wine. Very appealing.

.

Tasting Notes:  An elegant, off-dry wine with a golden color bearing flecks of pale green.  This is a rich, sweet wine with subtle aromas of almond and acacia, tasting of honey and quince on the palate.

Recommended Food Pairings: As an aperitif or as or with dessert. With cheeses and fois gras, melon and proscuitto - -these are exceptional pairings.
