Lawd, this is such a great Savennieres. I vastly prefer this higher end cuvee to the oxidative style of the cuvee speciale. Deep and vivid nose of honey, almonds, some peach and apricot fruit, and also a hint of marzipan. So complex. Palate is juicy and ripe with exquisite purity, acidity and a drop dead amuse Bouche oysters and pearls texture. The Malo helps there and adds so much. Great acidity that tingles and shocks you but it ripe and generous as well. That Chenin lighting. Palate is amazingly dense and complex with just an incredible amount of material but also echoes with iodine, hazelnut and some sweet herbs. This is really complex. Finish is almost tannic with great depth and has many parts. A beautiful, albeit young wine. A stunner.

Oct 28th, 2019Latest vintage of the best Chenin no one knows about. Super Chenin nose. Honey, vanilla almonds, honeysuckle, so clean, very mineral and so pure. Palate is intense and rich with amazing texture and complexity. So brilliant. Amazing balance and the wine just buzzes in your mouth. Wow. So complex. Insane structure and density. So clean. What a finish. So young. So juicy.

Sadly corked. God hates us all.
Too bad. Palate has super clean precise mineral fruit. Lemons. Apples. Very mineral. Precise as heck. Juicy. Great texture. Really delicious. Super sprightly in the palate. Just dances. Wakes you up and freshens the palate.
A 9.2 on the palate alone.
Great finish. Rainwater.
Bought from fass selections.
