"The huge 1997 Coteaux du Layon Beaulieu Les Rouannieres aromatically displays a compote of over-ripe fruits. It is massively rich, oily-textured, dense, and crammed with red fruits, jammy apricots, and quince. While it is in the style of the "sugar hunters" (see the introduction of The Wine Advocate's Issue #113 for a detailed explanation of this genre), it is better balanced than the majority of those wines."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
