Coteaux du Layon

Coteaux du Layon is a French appellation located in the Loire wine region. It is known for their sweet Chenin Blanc (Pineau de Loire) wines that are produced from late harvested or noble rot grapes. Typical aromas found in these well-balanced wines include acacia flowers, honey, and yellow fruit such as apricot or quince.

They can be enjoyed young, but the best examples can age quite well and develop a typical amber color and a more complex aromatic profile that displays aromas of candied fruit. Because of their creamy texture and fresh acidity, Coteaux du Layon are an excellent match to blue cheese, foie gras, and tangy frangipane or fruit-based desserts.
