the grand cru of quarts de chaume juts out over the layon valley, with its autumn mists, resulting in the best conditions for noble rot. this luscious wine, gold in color, is so rich, so intense as to be almost overwhelming. it is so young still all rich fruit, peaches, apricots with a touch of ginger. the wine, with its background of considerable acidity, will develop slowly; drink from 2020.
