"It's on these terroirs and thanks to this river that noble rot can do its work and settle on the grapes, concentrating them in sugar. This 2011 has all the characteristics of these sweet wines, with notes of dried fruit and acacia, a supple mouthfeel and a slightly acidic finish. Enjoy with fruit salad or pan-fried foie gras".

About the wine:
This property, located in the heart of the vineyard, offers a magnificent view over the Layon valley. It's on these terroirs, and thanks to this river, that noble rot can do its work and settle on the grapes, concentrating them in sugar. This 2011 has all the characteristics of these sweet wines, with notes of dried fruit and acacia, a supple mouthfeel and a slightly acidic finish. Enjoy with fruit salad or pan-fried foie gras.
