Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
From the Layon Valley with its ability to produce botrytised grapes from the morning mists in the autumn, this wine is rich, sweet with orange marmalade and honey flavors. The contrast with the acidity is what makes this wine so light, perfumed and poised. It needs to age, so drink from 2019.
— Domaine du Petit Métris 2014 Les Tétuères Chenin Blanc (Coteaux du Layon Chaume) (92/100)
Gold color, this is a delicious ripe wine from the small section of the Layon valley that also has the Quarts de Chaume vineyard. The honeyed character is cut through with dry botrytis, baked apples and brown sugar, balanced by intense acidity.

— Château de la Roulerie 2010 Les Aunis Chenin Blanc (Coteaux du Layon Chaume) (92/100)
This is a luscious wine, ripe with honeyed fruit and edged with botrytis. Apricot and peach dominate the fruit profile, laced with bitter marmalade and touches of acidity. The wine has a toffee aftertaste that emphasizes its richness. Drink from 2018.
