Domaine des Baumard 2003 Cuvée le Paon Chenin Blanc (Coteaux du Layon)

Country: France / Loire Valley
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Winery: Domaine des Baumard / Cuvée le Paon

Now in golden maturity, this is a smooth, unctuous and ripe wine. Honey is the dominant character, a perfumed wild flower honey that is layered with intense acidity that lifts the wine in a beautiful way. A sweet wine yes, but one that is so balanced.
