“Its exuberance is expressed in flavors of pears in syrup and candied apricots.” (RVF Special Vintage 2015 – June 2016) The perfectly integrated sugars lend a rich, indulgent quality to this very well-balanced cuvée.

Rated estate (2018 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

With his slender mustache and tenor voice, Eddy Oosterlinck-Bracke indulges his passion for great sweet wines alongside his wife, Mileine. A Belgian hardware store owner in his younger days, he felt—as he puts it—a calling to make wine... The call of the vineyard became a reality in 2001, with 8 hectares (out of a potential 22 hectares) in Coteaux-du-Layon-Faye and Anjou, all cultivated using certified biodynamic methods since 2007. Rich and complex, the sweet wines serve as benchmarks for the appellation, with fairly extensive barrel aging that gives the wines their body and allows them to age well over the years. A wonderful place to stop by to stock up your wine cellar!

Review by Mr. EDOUARD B. Published on May 8, 2022

A really lovely wine! A beautiful golden-orange color… A fruity nose with notes of quince and pear… Honey… A lovely finesse on the palate without being too sweet! ????
