A friendly, lightly spritzy wine that offers up open fruit and a sense of ease. For those looking for an introduction to the fresh, crisp and steely wines of Savennières, you can't go too wrong here. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, September 2022)

Has that haunting, minty, cool toned Savennieres aroma. White jasmine and salted taffy. Cool minerals, herbal and green fruited, and resonantly mineral on the palate. Finish that is so juicy and also spicy.

Popped and poured; paired with a fermented carrot cake and a spicy pistachio drizzle. This was pretty textbook (in the best of ways) apples, lemon and white flowers. A touch wooly too. Fantastic acid zip. A fabulous pairing with our the fare.

Oct 20th, 2021Golden. Nose full of beeswax, apricot, and a bit of smoke. On the palate, it’s wildly fresh, racy and complex, with ruby red grapefruit, underripe strawberry, and a linger hint of attractive smoke throughout. Lovely introduction to Savennières. (Jason Wilson, Vinous, July 2020)

Encore un autre tres beau chenin du domaine.
Par rapport au clos des papillons, Jalousie est encore plus dans l’opulence et l’intensité, en oubliant peut être la finesse et la verticalité? Un excès de jalousie peut être?

Another stellar vintage from La Jalousie. I find it hard to ignore my bias towards this producer when I taste another one of their wines- this was my epiphany in Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. But all the same intensity and elegance is there once again. Pithy, taught, vibrant and pure. I’m getting more citrus, herbs and minerality at this stage, and just a hint of floral nuance. The weight of the mid palate is always one of the highlights of this cuvée- dense and generous but always supple and kinetic. This is a wine that seems to burst upon impact but then moves around the palate with such finesse. Tremendous value from one of the finest estates in Anjou.
