Domaine de Forges, a family-owned winery for five generations, is renowned for its Chenin Blanc, cultivated on 50 hectares of HVE certified vines in the Loire Valley. The estate boasts a one-hectare parcel in the Grand Cru Quarts de Chaume and plots in Savennieres, including Moulin du Gue. With yields limited to 25 hl/ha, the wines exhibit a richness and world-class intensity.
The grapes are sourced from Le Moulin de Gue’s mineral-rich schist and carboniferous soils, ideal for ripening in the cool northern climate. Sustainable practices, such as green harvesting and summer thinning, ensure optimal exposure and ripeness.
Winemaking involves separate vinification of each parcel, careful pressing, and controlled settling of the juice. Slow fermentation with selected yeasts and partial malolactic conversion in 400-litre barrels enhances the creamy texture and complexity. Cross-flow filtration reduces sulphur levels before bottling.
The resulting wine is a rich, dry white with Savennieres’ signature mineral profile, balanced with buttery notes, hazelnut, and sweet spice, culminating in a refreshing finish. It’s a pure expression of Chenin Blanc, reflecting the terroir’s unique character.
