Coteaux du Layon
Coteaux du Layon is an AOC located in the Loire Valley, specifically in the Maine-et-Loire department. It is for producing sweet dessert wines primarily from the Chenin Blanc grape, which benefits from the region's unique microclimate and the presence of noble rot. The appellation encompasses several communes along the Layon River, where the combination of riverbanks and slopes creates ideal conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea.
