Description

The magic of this encounter is fully apparent in this “Rablay”, which is both incredibly concentrated and incredibly fine. Of course, tasting this elixir today is something of a sacrilege, as it deserves to be cellared for at least 8 years before reaching its full potential…
Grape variety: Chenin 100%.
Terroir: Anjou sand and gravel on schist alteration
Exposition: south, south-east
Geographical location: commune of Rablay-sur-Layon
Harvesting: By hand and by selection. Search for over-ripeness through noble rot. Very slow pressing and light settling. Slow fermentation to continue to harmoniously enhance aromatic expression. Matured for one year in temperature-controlled vats.
Cellaring potential: 10 to 15 years.
Tasting notes: Golden yellow colour. Open nose, with aromas of Williams pears and exotic fruits. Round and suave on the palate, with a lovely balance of finesse and freshness.

Wine & food pairing

Round and suave on the palate, with a lovely balance of finesse and freshness.
Aperitif, toast with Auvergne blue cheese, mini foie gras brioche with mango chutney, squab with grapes, pear and blackcurrant cobbler
Pan-fried foie gras, exotic wok (lychee, mango, papaya).
