Country: France / Sélection de Grains Nobles
Variety: Chenin Blanc Loire Valley
Winery: Domaine Philippe Delesvaux / Coteaux du Layon
Supersweet, but never cloying, with acidity, pear skin tannins and delicate sweet brown sugar and honey flavors. It is a great example of how Loire Chenin manages to keep its balance and freshness while still offering long-aging botrytis character. Keep for at least 10 years.
