Dhomme Coteaux du Layon Les Beauvais 2023 500mL

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Coteaux de Layon Les Beauvais is made with 100% chenin blanc grown on sand and clay soils with schist subsoils.  80% of the grapes have noble rot, and the juice is fermented in 400- liter oak barrels.  This sweet wine is flat-out delicious, bursting with notes of concentrated dried fruits that work beautifully with foie gras, pork rillettes, strong cheeses, fruit tarts or chocolate-based desserts.​”

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “We discovered Domaine Dhommé at a trade tasting of organic producers in Saumur.  Clarisse and her husband Quentin Dhommé have been organically farming their 25 hectares property since 2011.  They harvest all their fruit by hand and only use indigenous yeasts.  The couple make a number of excellent wines that we've brought into America for the first time.”
