Chenin
Late-harvest Chenin Blanc capturing autumn's finest expression
- A wine of genuine balance—the natural sweetness of late-harvested grapes tempered by the Chenin Blanc's characteristic acidity, creating a palate that is neither cloying nor austere.
- Though named for autumn, this wine's freshness and complexity reward drinking throughout the year, whether as an aperitif or with the table.
- The Coteaux du Layon terroir—south-facing schist slopes above the Loire—yields wines of remarkable finesse. This cuvée exemplifies the appellation's character.

Breeding
The wine is aged in oak barrels, often from multiple vintages, for 12 to 18 months to stabilise the structure and refine complexity without imparting dominant oaky notes.
On the eye
Brilliant, crystalline robe of pale gold. The colour speaks of careful harvesting and gentle handling.
On the nose
Stewed apricot and peach dominate the bouquet, with secondary notes of quince and honeyed stone fruit. The aromatics are expressive without being heavy.
In the mouth
The palate mirrors the nose: ripe stone fruits and exotic notes—mango, lychee—balanced by a refreshing acidity that prevents heaviness. The finish is clean and persistent.
I recommend this wine with foie gras, blue cheeses, and warm fruit desserts—a charlotte aux poires or tarte Tatin served still-warm. It also stands alone as a meditation wine. The 2011 vintage shows excellent ageing potential; those with patience may cellar it a further five to eight years.

DOMAINE SAGET LA PERRIERE
Based in Pouilly-sur-Loire since 1790, Domaine Saget la Perrière spans 360 hectares across the Loire Valley's finest appellations, from the Kimmeridgian clays of Pouilly to the flint soils of Sancerre. Now in its ninth generation, Jean-Louis, Arnaud and Laurent Saget have steered the entire estate to organic certification and HVE, working with Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its organic commitment at scale, the clarity of its terroir expression, and the consistent quality of its whites across Pouilly and Sancerre. A dependable Loire reference, equally at home in the cellar or on the table.
