- Christine and Joel Menard have been making wine from Domaine Le Sablonnettes for over 20 years, forging a reputation for releasing unique and expressive wines out of their winery in the heart of Coteaux Du Layon AOC in the Loire Valley. This appellation is known for its sweet wines, and although the Domaine concentrates primarily on dry wines, the Fleurs D'érables (meaning maple flowers) is a beautiful sweet wine made from 25-30 year old Chenin Blanc vines that were showing the beginnings of Botrytis. It's so well balanced, with fresh acidity that balances out the sweetnes, and luscious flavours of apricot, pear and honey with a beautiful minerality and a structure with real poise. An absolute delight!
