Domaine des Baumard

Trie Spéciale Savennières Chenin Blanc 1995

Aged dry Chenin Blanc from Baumard, the “Trie Speciale”, which is always dynamite if consumed 7-12 years from vintage, this bottle is JUST a little older, honeyed aromas and flavors, still alive, but would of course be better if it was sweeter, amazing how long these wines will last, though, even if not optimum!! — 22 days ago

Glad to see this note. I have a bunch of Baumard in the cellar but almost never open one. Time to give one a try.

Savennières Chenin Blanc 2009

This has continued to age effortlessly, effectively “dry” Chenin Blanc, finished in screwcap, at age 17, neither the color, aromatics or palate impression suggest anything older than 7-10 years, should continue to age well!!

What is it about excellent Loire Chenin that just really really does it for me? Waxy, honeyed, gorgeous wine. — 3 years ago

Arena Savennières Chenin Blanc 2019

Honestly I haven’t been drinking wine for a while but this has reinvigorated my interest. Mosse is underrated these days. Depth and balance and finesse beyond its price tag. — 5 years ago

Domaine Richou

La Bigottière Savennières Chenin Blanc

100% Chenin, sur la rive de la Loire, un vin tendu qui semble plein d'énergie et de potentiel. Impressionnant quand même et qui semble fait pour la garde. On goûte le chêne utilisé pour son vieillissement, ce qui arrondit la texture. Un grand vin pour de garde? Ce vin a été ouvert dans mon réfrigérateur pendant une semaine - je l'ai dégusté pendant plusieurs jours et il s'est amélioré, signe d'un grand potentiel, mais c'est déjà une très belle expérience maintenant, — 6 years ago

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 1997

Textbook Savennières - chiseled, crisp acidity still in evidence, lemon, apple, pear, quince, hay, peach, almond and honey. Still stunningly fresh and mouth filling. Dry but thickly textured. Glorious at nearly 30 years of age. — 24 days ago

Wow medium yellow and complex nutty earthy ripe orange spicy notes carrying through to bracing acidity and firm texture then long finish. No sign of oxidation from previous notes and giving it higher ratings. — 9 months ago

Château Pierre-Bise

Savennières Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc

Medium lemon yellow. The nose is med+ and rises easily from the glass with fresh notes of mineral stones, lanolin, salinity, and mixed fresh orchard fruits. The palate is med/med+ bodied, with mouthwatering and perfectly integrated acidity. The flavors cascade over the palate with energy and depth into a long, persistent finish. — 2 years ago

Les Vieux Clos Savennières Chenin Blanc 2022

2022. Our sommelier knew that we have enjoyed several different Chenin Blanc wines with the food at The Oven and poured me a taste of this wine from an opened bottle. Beautiful aromas of apple/apple cider/blossoms. High acidity and medium body. — 4 months ago

Amazing depth and concentration for Chenin. Super dry and nervy, tons of flavor and a lot to like overall but not sure it’s worth the cost of entry. — 5 years ago
