Domaine Belargus - Coteaux du Layon 2022
The Coteaux du Layon is smooth and seductive.
Domaine Belargus owns 10 hectares out of the 40 that are classified Grand Cru in the Loire Valley and known as Quarts-de-Chaume. From the terraces of Clos des Ruchères in Savennières, planted directly on the rock, to the vertiginous slopes of the Coteau des Treilles, Belargus intentionally opts for the hard path and forges an ambitious and iconic brand of viticulture.
Aromas of pineapple, spices, caramel, exotic fruits and orange blood preface the 2022 Coteaux du Layon Moelleux Layon, a sweet wine crafted from vines planted in three villages: Saint-Lambert du Lattay, Beaulieu-sur-Layon and Saint-Aubin de Luigné. Medium-bodied, round and supple with a gourmand mid-palate, it’s fruity and savory with a fresh, penetrating finish. It contains 109 grams of residual sugar. 90-92 points - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate.
