Côteaux du Layon, Cuvée Les Perrières, Domaine du Petit Clocher, Anjou 2022

A finely balanced sweet wine from the heart of the Loire, this Côteaux du Layon offers purity, richness and precision, with Chenin Blanc's hallmark interplay of honeyed fruit and vibrant acidity.

• Layers of quince, apricot and candied citrus peel mingle with acacia honey, almond and gentle spice; the palate is luscious yet lifted, finishing with mouthwatering freshness.
• From the Côteaux du Layon in Anjou, where Chenin Blanc thrives on schist and sandstone soils, often enhanced by noble rot to produce complex, ageworthy sweet wines.
• Grapes are harvested by hand to ensure only the best make it into the final wine. Added complexity and harmony is contributed by vinification in oak barrels for three to four months.
• Produced by Domaine du Petit Clocher, a family estate committed to careful vineyard work and terroir-driven expression across Anjou.
• A versatile sweet wine, perfect with blue cheese, fruit tarts or foie gras, and a more delicate alternative to Sauternes.
