DOMAINE DES SAULAIES

Coteaux du Layon Faye d’Anjou Canelle 2005

Un seul “n” mais bien deux “l” qui élèvent cette très grande liqueur de chenin, tendue par une fraîcheur naturelle impressionnante. Des amers de jeunesse ne couvrent pas son discours dynamique. Grand vin à prix rare. Raflez tout !

Canelle is a superb liquor of chenin, heightened by an impressive natural freshness.. Despite its tender age, it displays the dynamic character associated with a more mature vintage. An exceptional wine at an attractive price. Voila! Buy everything !

Some explainations

* The Coteaux du Layon is an AOC, made with 100 % Chenin.

In the region are produced standard Coteaux du Layon and some of higher quality. These ones come from few indexed villages and, to make the difference, have the right to add the name of the village where they are produced : Chaume, Faye d’Anjou, Rablay sur Layon, Rochefort sur Loire, Saint Aubin de Luigné, Saint Lambert du Lattay, Beaulieu sur Layon…that’s all !

* “Canelle” : it is the name of the Cuvée 

=> ”One “n” but two “l”" : it is a poetic way to express different things. In french “Canelle” sounds like “cannelle” which means “cinnamon”. In fact ”Canelle” is the name of the winemaker’s daughter.
