Quarts de Chaume is a French appellation located in the Loire that produces well-known dessert wines from Chenin Blanc grapes. These golden-colored wines are well-balanced and harmonious, lively, and fresh, with typical aromas of flowers, citrus fruit, quinces, peaches, spices, and honey.
They have excellent aging potential, and some vintages can be matured for over twenty years. Quarts de Chaume is an excellent wine to serve with appetizers and foie gras, and they naturally pair with desserts and blue cheese.
