Les Demoiselles

2022
Full-bodied, complex and intense: this Coteaux du Layon, 100% Chenin Blanc, is the bottle for great occasions.

Appelation

AOC Coteaux du Layon

Terroir

Anjou Noir. Schist and sandstone soils of the Armorican Massif, bordered by the Layon.

Viticulture

Vines certified organic, mostly over 30 years old. Mechanical soil work, with flowering fallow cover crops sown to boost biodiversity and soil life. No chemical inputs, following a transition begun in 2021. Hand-harvested, late-picked to ensure maximum sugar concentration, with rigorous sorting in the vineyard. Grapes are harvested through successive selective passes to keep only the berries concentrated by botrytis cinerea.

Winemaking and Ageing

Minimal intervention in the cellar. Sorting at the winery, plot-by-plot vinification. Sulphur used sparingly. The wine is aged for one year in 228-litre oak barrels.

Vintage

2022 will be remembered as a great sun-drenched vintage in the Loire. A historically dry summer concentrated the berries and called for constant vigilance in the vineyard. The early harvest took place in impeccable sanitary conditions, combining both volume and quality after several difficult years. The white wines show beautiful ripeness, marked aromatic richness, and a fine, lingering finish.

Tasting Notes

This 2022 Coteaux du Layon reveals a fine balance between sweetness and freshness. The nose opens on bursts of candied fruit and pastry-like touches of caramel. The palate continues generously, with floral and yellow-fruit notes leading to a lively, tonic finish.

Food & Wine Pairing

Foie gras de canard et chutney de figues.
Assortiment de fromages à pâte persillée.

Ageing & Serving

Up to 50 years. Serve between 8°C and 10°C.
