Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2007
French Dessert
Unctuous yet vibrant, with honey, baked apple, saffron, guava and mango lifted by dusty lemon, dried herbs, grass and fresh mint. The palate is generous and layered, balancing tropical sweetness with the high, graceful acidity that gives mature Chenin its poise. Long and luscious without becoming cloying, it suits blue cheese, baked apple or lightly spiced pâté.

Bright gold and wonderfully lively, with peach, papaya and melon layered over lemon zest, white flowers, honey, apricot and spiced orange peel.
