“Its exuberance comes through in notes of pear in syrup and candied apricot.” (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 a benchmark for the appellation, with fairly extensive barrel aging that gives the wines their body and allows them to age well. A great place to stop by to stock up your wine cellar!
