Domaine des Rochelles Côteaux de l’Aubance 2020 Tradition

Domaine History

Located in the Loire Valley, Domaine des Rochelles is a family estate with a long-standing tradition of producing elegant and expressive wines. The domaine focuses on Chenin Blanc for its sweet cuvées, crafting wines that highlight purity, balance, and the richness of their terroir.

Terroir

The vineyards of Coteaux de l’Aubance are planted on schist and sandstone soils, benefiting from gentle slopes along the Aubance River. The microclimate favors the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), concentrating sugars and aromas in the grapes while preserving vibrant acidity.

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow color. The nose is rich and complex, with aromas of candied fruits, honey, and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is smooth and luscious, balanced by a beautiful freshness and a long, elegant finish with notes of apricot and citrus zest.

A beautifully balanced sweet Chenin Blanc, combining richness, aromatic intensity, and freshness — ideal for both aperitif and dessert pairings.

Pairing

Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses like Roquefort, fruit tarts, or simply as an elegant aperitif.
