Critics reviews

Julia Harding MW 16.5/20

Certified biodynamic Demeter and Biodyvin). Chenin Blanc on schist. 26 months' ageing in a mix of barrels, amphora and concrete. No added sulphites. Unfined and unfiltered.

Intense aroma of quince and creamy, herbal citrus. Sour-fresh intensity and purity on the palate. Very youthful and with the balance to age well.

Drink 2023 - 2030

About this wine

Savennières

Savennières

Savennières is a tiny white Anjou appellation (comprising Savennières, Savennières-Coulée-de-Serrant, and Savennières-Roche-aux-Moines) revered for its dry, full-bodied Chenin Blanc wines, grown on the ancient schistous/volcanic soils on the southern banks of the Loire. The best are hand-harvested by trie (often with a degree of noble rot), before being pressed and aged in oak barrels.
