Late harvest Chenin rules!

If you can pull it off, try a roasted quail stuffed with foie gras and truffles. Seriously, try it.

Otherwise, blue-veined cheeses

or an ice cream-topped apricot tart will do just fine.

On steep slopes above the river Layon, Chenin blanc grapes glisten in the morning mist and bask in the warmth of the afternoon sun; the ideal setting for botrytis cinerea (noble rot.) The resulting wine, aged in 400 liter casks for a year, is one of immense sugar concentration and intense flavors, but balanced by vibrant acidity. The Germain family knows how to do it right.
