Domaines des Forges Chardonnay 2025
In 1890, Domaine des Forges was born. Mr Pierre Robineau, grocer and cloth merchant, decided to buy 2 hectares of vineyard. A parcel called “le Clos des Forges” gave its name to the domain. Since then, 5 generations of winegrowers have succeeded one another in the family, making the Domaine des Forges a historic and renowned house among the Loire Valley estates. For more than 20 years, Stéphane and Séverine Branchereau have been striving to perpetuate this heritage, between respect for tradition and innovation. With the 2019 vintage, Domaine des Forges achieved the highest HVE standard. This is a guarantee of more environmentally friendly approaches in the vineyard. The domain works on 3 indicators: biodiversity, phytosanitary strategy and fertilization management. They are currently using bacterisol, which fertilizes and restores soil balance with a positive impact on the environment and biodiversity. In addition they use a technique called “sexual confusion”. The principle is simple: they artificially provoke a release of pheromones in the vineyards. These pheromones, normally secreted by the female moths, will release hormones in large quantities, which will disturb the search for the female moths by the males. Thus without reproduction, the birth of larvae will not take place, which consequently will not cause any damage to the vines. Through the transmission of knowledge of the vine for 5 generations and concerned about ecological issues for future decades, obtaining this distinction is fundamental for the Domaine des Forges in terms of its commitment against soil pollution and global warming, a challenge of the 21st century.

Meet the producer Emiliana is a pioneering Chilean winery known for its organic and biodynamic practices. Since 1998, Emiliana has combined sustainable viticulture with modern winemaking to produce wines of remarkable purity and character. Production Grapes are sourced from the Fundo Quitralman vineyard in Mulchén, planted in 1993. Handpicked and gently pressed, fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts: 35% in previously used French barrels, 10% in new foudres, and 55% in stainless steel at 12–14ºC to preserve aromatic freshness. Post-fermentation, the wine remains in contact with fine lees with periodic stirring (batonnage) for 6 months. Prior to bottling, it is fined and cold-stabilized to maintain clarity. Tasting notes Subtle and complex aromas of fresh lime, flinty minerality, and honeysuckle. The palate is mid-weight and off-dry, with persistent citrus flavours, a hint of natural salinity, and a clean, flinty finish. Food match Ideal with oysters, shellfish, white meats, smoked salmon, vegetarian dishes, and Asian cuisine. Grape Riesling 100%
