The 2018 Domaine Belargus "Rouères" is a profoundly complex and opulent sweet Chenin Blanc, revealing aromas of dried apricot, candied citrus, quince, saffron, and honey, layered with subtle notes of brioche and spice. The palate is rich and luscious yet remarkably precise, with vibrant acidity balancing its sweetness and carrying through to a long, mineral-laced finish.

ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced from the historic "Rouères" parcel in the Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru appellation, this wine is produced only in exceptional vintages from botrytized Chenin Blanc. The vineyard’s southeast-facing slopes and puddingstone soils create ideal conditions for noble rot, concentrating sugars and flavors while preserving freshness.
