Description
Domaine de Forges has been a family-owned producer for five generations.
Although his father Claude can still be found pottering round the cellar, the
current success of this estate and the quality of the wines is due to son
Stphane and his wife Sverine.
Their 50 hectares of organic-in-practice, sustainably farmed vines include
30 hectares of Chenin Blanc, of which seven are located on the steep slopes
of the Chaumes, and a one-hectare parcel in the Loires only Grand Cru: the
prestigious Quarts de Chaume. They also own three separate plots in
Savennires, including the original in the sandy-schist site of Moulin du
Gu and one hectare in the cru Roche aux Moines.
Yields are kept extremely low, at 25 hectolitres per hectare. As a result of
this complex network of terroirs, the wines have a richness and intensity
that clearly show the world-class potential of this style of Chenin Blanc.
