2021 Anjou, Grolleau, Clau de Nell, Loire

Description

The 2021 Grolleau is full of personality—spicy and herbal, almost like a good tequila with its savoury, agave character. Youthful and full of cool-climate energy and bright acidity, it's an alarm clock of a wine—there's no way your palate won't be woken up. Despite the challenging season in 2021, it feels more tamed and balanced than 2020. It's such fun, but you will have to like a bit of acid. Serve ever-so-slightly chilled.

Drink 2024 - 2027

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.
