AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a bottle of old wine, shown in the photo, from the AOC Coteaux du Layon, vintage 1986. The bottle has a slender shape typical of Loire white wines, with dark glass and a long neck. The main label, partly patinated by time, features the coat of arms with three fleur-de-lis on a blue background, topped with a crown, and the mention "Vin d'Anjou".

The yellow capsule bears a legible inscription "Garantie de Propreté" (Guarantee of Cleanliness), as well as a blazoned motif. The upper label displays "Davy St Aubin" and "1986", confirming the vintage. The central label clearly indicates "Coteaux du Layon", "Domaine de la Roche Moreau", as well as the controlled appellation and the production location in St-Aubin-de-Luigné (Maine-et-Loire, France).

The dominant colors of the bottle are the dark green of the glass, the patinated yellow of the capsule and label, as well as touches of blue, red, and gold on the coat of arms. The period typography and the slightly yellowed appearance of the label enhance the authentic and vintage character of this bottle.

The wine contained is a sweet white wine, a specialty of Coteaux du Layon, renowned for its aromas of candied fruit and honey after aging. No cork is visible in the photo (covered by the intact capsule). The whole is photographed in front of a wooden bookcase, which highlights the traditional and antique character of the presentation.

The bottle appears complete, unopened, with slight traces of wear and a natural patina on the label, typical of a wine preserved for several decades. No glass chips or major defects are visible on the presented side.

Did you know? Coteaux du Layon is one of the most famous sweet wines of the Loire Valley. It is primarily made from the Chenin Blanc grape, and the best vintages, such as 1986, develop great aromatic complexity over time, combining notes of dried fruit, honey, and sweet spices.
