When I visited the estate in July, the 96s had recently been assembled in large stainless steel tanks. They will not be available in the US until mid-1998. The superb 1996 Coteaux du Layon-St. Aubin Les Petits Houx reveals lemon drop candy on the nose and an extracted, medium-bodied flavor profile made up of candied grapefruits, white flowers and honeysuckle. This well-delineated wine is enthralling because of its combination of citrus fruit flavors and honeyed quince characteristics. Projected maturity: 2000-2018. Importer: World Shippers, Philadelphia, PA; tel: (215) 732-2018.
