Domaine de Montgilet's Coteaux de l'Aubance: A Sweet Wine Masterpiece

Crafted in the heart of the Loire Valley, the COTEAUX DE L'AUBANCE "L'Aubance" by DOMAINE DE MONTGILET is a benchmark for Moelleux wines. This 100% Chenin Blanc is produced from late-harvested grapes touched by the noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the sugars and flavours, resulting in a wine of exceptional complexity and longevity.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep, brilliant golden yellow.
• Aroma: Rich and concentrated, with powerful aromas of candied fruits (quince, apricot), honey, and a hint of exotic spice.
• Taste: A sumptuous, mouth-filling texture. The sweetness is beautifully integrated, lifted by the Chenin's natural, refreshing acidity and a distinct schist-driven minerality. It's a sweet wine with a lively backbone.

Food Pairing & Ideal Serve

Best served cool (10-12°C). A superb match for classic British and international pairings:

• A spectacular aperitif.
• The perfect accompaniment to Stilton or other hard blue cheeses.
• Traditional Christmas Pudding or a rich fruit tart.
• Pork pâtés or terrines with fruit chutney.
