Côteaux du Layon Sweet Wine, Saint Lambert, Domaine Ogereau 2006 (75 cl) - box of 6
This sweet wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc, hand harvested through the end of October by selection of grapes from old vines; noble-rotted and raisined grapes give this wine its natural sweetness. Fermentation is stopped at 12.5% alcohol by cold temperatures and filtration, leaving residual sugar. The fermentation is slow and long (controlled by temperature) to develop nuances of aromas and flavours. It is a sweet wine with balancing acidity for desserts or rich savoury dishes. - Robert Parker: 92+ "Mouth-watering ripe apricots, peaches, pears and notes of vanilla are found in the outstanding Coteaux du Layon-St Lambert's aromas and flavours. Beautifully structured, this fresh, lively and refined medium-to-full-bodied offering should age gracefully for two decades. Projected maturity: 1999 - 2020."
