Mostly from younger vines up to about 15 yo, this wine is vinified in cement tanks using indigenous yeast and aged in a combination of large old oak and cement tanks. A real ‘vin de soif’ giving the extravagant raspberry perfume and thirst quenching freshness that Chinon is so well known for. Very fresh, very moreish.

"Fesles is the Yquem of the Loire Valley" - La Revue du Vin de France
Named the "Y'Quem of the Loire Valley" along with Parker commenting that "This wine should have its own appellation" does justice to one of the world's greatest sweet wines. On average the cuvee consists of 90% botrytized Chenin with the rest coming from "Passerillage", the method of leaving the grapes on the vine to raison and concentrate the sugars. Fermented in Acacia barrels (this promotes … more

Domaine de la Chevalerie is a leading name in the Bourgueil appellation, and has been owned by the Caslot family for 14 generations.
The 2005 vintage was hot and atypical year in the Loire. For this reason the Caslot family decided to assemble some of the best barrels from Les Galichets and La Chevalerie cuvées to make a Vin de Garde. Drinking well until 2026.

2009 was a dream vintage at Huet for the sweeter styles. Huet's 09 Moelleux and Première Trie range from the exquisite to the sublime. The 09 Le Mont Moelleux is a really lush, hedonistic wine with green mango, honey and even some melted butter notes. Rich and delicious, it coats the mouth and finishes long a perfumed. Cracking wine and an absolute bargain.

Huet's Demi-Sec typically fall between 20-25 g/L--give or take a few grams--but the acidity makes the wine only just off-dry. These are examples of Chenin Blanc that manage finesse and diamond-like clarity, yet they are somehow open and welcoming at the same time. Like many great 'sweet' wines of the Loire, the wines from Demi-Sec onwards taste deceptively dry because of the terrific sugar/acid balance. These wines match beautifully with the spices of many Asian cuisines but are also brilliant … more
