Domaine des Forges Coteaux du Layon Chaume Grains Nobles 1994 (500ml)
From Domaine des Forges in France’s Loire Valley, the Coteaux du Layon Chaume Grains Nobles 1994 is a refined 100% Chenin Blanc from vineyards on schist and clay-limestone soils. Affected by noble rot and fermented in stainless steel, it is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, offering a golden amber hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A luxurious, sweet white with intense honeyed fruit and botrytis complexity, showcasing Loire’s terroir.
The nose reveals apricot, honey, and spice, with hints of tropical fruit and floral notes. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and luscious, with balanced acidity, a viscous texture, and flavors of candied orange, almond, and a long, mineral finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like foie gras or blue cheese to highlight its sweet fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 楊枝甘露, 椰汁糕, 芒果布丁, 芝麻糊, 杏仁豆腐, or 糯米糍 to complement its luscious texture and honeyed notes. Ideal for dessert courses or indulgent moments.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 8°C in a dessert wine glass to enhance aromas; no decanting needed. Enjoy now or cellar until 2030 for added complexity, developing deeper nutty and spice notes. Explore our Loire Valley collection for more Chenin Blanc classics.
