A jewel of the Loire Valley, Château Du Plaisance’s 2015 Confidence du Chaume is a botrytised Chenin Blanc of remarkable poise and complexity. From the prized Coteaux du Layon region, this sweet wine is the product of meticulous hand-harvesting and natural noble rot, resulting in a golden nectar layered with nuance. Aromas of candied citrus peel, ripe apricot, and acacia honey rise from the glass, while the palate unfolds with saffron, quince paste, and a vibrant line of acidity that keeps the richness in perfect balance. Silky and lingering, it’s a wine made for slow contemplation — equally at home alongside blue cheese, foie gras, or poached pear desserts.

| Tasting Notes | ||
|---|---|---|
| Nose Rich and expressive, with aromas of candied orange peel, dried apricot, acacia honey, and hints of ginger and chamomile. Subtle botrytis character adds depth through notes of saffron and beeswax. |
Palete Lusciously textured yet vibrant, showcasing flavours of marmalade, poached pear, quince, and golden raisins. The sweetness is lifted by a precise acidity that provides balance and energy, keeping the wine lively despite its opulence. |
Finish This wine shines alongside richly textured dishes that complement its sweetness and acidity. Classic pairings include blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton, foie gras torchon with brioche, or duck liver pâté. For dessert, try it with tarte Tatin, poached pears in saffron syrup, or a lemon and almond cake. It also offers an elegant contrast to spicy dishes such as Moroccan tagine with apricots or glazed pork belly. |
