1. This is a producer I've never tried before. I have no idea why I bought this wine, other than CoteauxLayon wines are a pretty safe bet.
I served this w/ the Loisen Crema Panettone that I got from DarrellCorti. Darrell regards this as one of the best Panettone producers in Italy. It was a superb pairing.

I haven't kept up but the reputation (certainly circa 2002) was always a solid producer with good vineyards. Nothing too distinctive (wines tended a bit on the loose/imprecise/high yield direction) but nothing too horrible.

Found Ogereau CB years ago and really enjoyed. Alas, no agent here right now.
