Tasting notes of the "Fragrance" wine
This wine presents an aromatic
characteristic of botrytized harvest. The mouth is at times filled,
delicate, complex and has a sensation of crunching all sort of dried,
candied fruits. We find, as well, some tobacco and spicy taste. A lovely
balance that associates the freshness, sweetness, delicacy and richness
of the wine.
Potential ageing of the "Fragrance" wine
Having such great richness,
the Couteaux du Layon "Fragrance", is a great wine of storage.
