The Coteaux du Layon Exception benefits from optimal conditions for the growth of Botrytis, the fungus responsible for the noble rot that produces great sweet wines. This cuvée opens with aromas of fresh white and yellow fruits (apricots, peaches, mirabelle plums...), exotic fruits, and citrus... A must-try!
