Have been at Decanter magazine today at a Decanter panel tasting looking at the 2007 vintage in the Coteaux du Layon including Bonnezeaux and Quarts de Chaume. The results will appear in the January 2010 edition of Decanter. There were some superb wines in the tasting, showing both the quality today of what can be made in the Layon and how good the best sweet wines from the 2007 vintage are – miraculously precise with a really thrilling balance of sweetness and acidity.
