Domaine des Forges Savennieres 'Le Moulin de Gue'

Producer

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 down to son Stéphane and his wife Séverine.
Their 50 hectares of HVE certified 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 Loire’s only Grand Cru: the prestigious Quarts de Chaume.
They also own three separate plots in Savennières, including the original in the sandy/schist site of Moulin du Gué and one hectare in the cru Roche aux Moines.

Yields are kept extremely low, at 25 hl/ha. 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.
