Château d'Epire's Chenin Blanc vines are seated atop the highest hill in the Savennières appellation. There the vines benefit from added sunlight due to a southeasterly orientation, in addition to phtanit-rich soils. The Cuvée Spéciale 2012 offers up permeating aromas of poached apples and pears, white flowers, baked apples, caramel and baking spice. Given the nose, it's quite a leaner than expected on the palate with a racy minerally vein that neatly intersects green apple skins, lime zest and spice.

Exudes waxy minerality,beeswax aroma with lemony and floral characteristics. Acidity is prominent in this dry Chenin blanc which carries the finish.
