Coteaux du Layon|White wine

4/5 (12 customers)

Award: RVF 2011 Vintage – Outstanding Achievement
This cuvée bursts with aromas of fresh white and yellow fruits (apricots, peaches, mirabelle plums...), exotic fruits, and citrus. The palate is round, velvety, and smooth, with the same aromas dominated by the freshness of exotic fruits, complemented by a citrus note that highlights the slightly tart finish. Exquisite!
