A beautifully rounded and fully developed Loire sticky that ain’t so sticky...but just right! Fresh, beautifully balanced exotic fruit and a clear beam of acidity, earthy chalk. Soul of a dry white.

Super wine straddling freshness and maturity. Core of acidity maintains order over citronella, loquat, kumquat, longan, clover honeycomb, etcetera, etc, etc......,,

Oxidized as expected. Nice lighter baking spices, baked apples, touch aldehydic. Wonderful acid balanced with a demisec. Wonderful way to celebrate the end of crush 2013

Last of the 1981 bottles I bought for my dear wife’s birthday and I believe this was the best. The cork was in incredible condition, looked only a few years old - Ah So made easy work of it. After allowing it to warm a bit - caramel apple, some barnyard funk on the nose, plus an under layer of fresh green apple. Palate is beautifully balanced, no sign of fatigue at all - this #coteauxdulayon#cheninblanc could coast for ages it seems. Caramel and honey notes, fleshy texture, some lemon, piercing acidity cutting through that sweetness, and more fresh green apple underlaying the baked notes. This was a nice counterpoint to the Sauternes we had closer to her actual birthday and a compelling alternative.

...Le Coucou NYC. Thinking this should have been drunk around 1999. Like meeting a woman who says she was a playmate in the 1980s... Drinakable, but not desirable...
