Domaine des Baumard Coteaux du Layon Clos de Sainte Catherine 2017

$3999

A mature sweet Chenin Blanc that's earned its depth. From a single vineyard just outside Rochefort-sur-Loire, the 2017 Clos de Sainte Catherine is richer and more cerebral than standard Coteaux du Layon, with dried apricot, orange marmalade, and quince. The palate is plush and opulent, with the kind of mellowness that comes from time in bottle. Dessert wine for those who value complexity.

"It's amazing that the 2017 Coteaux du Layon Clos de Sainte-Catherine has 163g/l of residual sugar, as it boasts lovely freshness and elegance. The excellent balance could be attributed to the cooler, north-facing site or the schistous bedrock. It is simply delicious, with wonderful acidity providing brightness and clarity, leaving you wanting more of its honey, celery and cooked peach flavors. This is drinking well now, but as a rare sweet Loire Chenin Blanc under screwcap, it will evolve slowly; it has more than a decade left in the tank, probably two." —Rebecca Gibb MW

"Save yourself the trouble and replace dessert with this luscious wine. Deep-gold in color, this wine has an entrancing aromatic nose of dried apricot, orange marmalade, honey, quince, golden apple and dried orange peel. Rich in texture with depth of flavor, the wine is plush, opulent and absolutely delicious." —Reggie Solomon
