Made from overripe grapes affected by noble rot, this sweet Layon wine boasts a color reminiscent of the blazing sun. Its exuberant nose, with aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple, lychee…), heralds a highly aromatic palate with a rich attack, finishing with a lively aftertaste featuring soft notes of caramelized pears. In terms of value for money, this Layon will surprise more than a few!

Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

Led by the younger generation—Stéphane, Julien, and Vincent Denis, who joined the business in 2003, 2006, and 2009, respectively—this has been a family business since 1920; it started with 5 hectares and now spans 90 hectares. A flagship estate in Haut-Layon, renowned in particular for its red wines, but also highly skilled in producing whites and rosés. A (very) safe bet.
