The Coteaux du Layon: small, steeply-sloped valleys bordered by the Loire, and slightly less majestic River Layon. Chenin Blanc grapes are used here to produce styles from subtly off-dry to overtly sweet ('noble rot' shrivels grapes to raisiny succulence). Domaine des Forges is in Chaume, famed for luscious 'moelleux' styles. This delicious wine, a fine balance of nectar-like sweetness and fresh, peachy acidity, is recommended drinking with foie gras.
