COTEAUX DU LAYON
PREMIER CRU CHAUME 2011
At Chaume, the very distinctive soil enables a perfect
match between concentration of flavours (apricots,
pineapple) and a fresh finish. Exceptional with veined
cheeses; consider it for a romantic dinner and also for a
birth gift for its laying-down potential of several decades.
