2019 Coteaux du Layon 1er Cru Chaume, Domaine des Forges
50cl Bottle
Sweet | White | Still | 11.5%
This has got to be one of the best value sweet wines on the market. It is bottled in 50cl exclusively for Lay & Wheeler - the perfect size, we feel. It is a beautiful pale golden colour, and the aromas are focussed around Seville oranges and acacia honey. The palate is singing with acidity: zippy, lightly bitter, fresh and just sweet enough. The finish is astonishing for such a modestly priced wine, with quince, tangerine, and honeycomb flavours lingering.
Ready: 2021 - 2029
