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

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.
