Chateau Roulerie
Coteau du Layon Orangerie 50cl 2014
On the steep limestone slopes above the river Layon in the Loire, Chenin Blanc grapes glisten beautifully in the morning mist and bathe in the warmth of the afternoon sun, the ideal setting for botrytis (noble rot) to develop and some of the finest sweet wines on the planet to be made.
The charismatic Phillip and Marie Germain, the team behind Chateau de la Roulerie, have mastered the art of balancing the immense sugar concentration and intense flavours that come from these grapes, with vibrant acidity and the steely minerality provided by the limestone soils. Nowhere is there a better example of this master craftsmanship than their L’Orangeraie 2014 Cuvee.
With a wonderfully aromatic nose of quince, candied fruit, honey and orange peel. A luscious palate follows of ripe citric and exotic fruits, some subtle toasted notes related to its ageing and a long crisp, mineral finish. This is a great example of what sweet wine can and should be. Far from heavy and cloying, but crisp and light with great depth, the L’Orangeraie 2014 would pair beautifully with a cheese plate, as well as your typical Christmas desserts, such as mince pies and Christmas pudding.
