Vintage 2013 - Tasted and retasted after 48 hours aeration. Both times very good but with air much more smell, hints of honey, flowers. Very high acidity, razorsharp #cheninblanc #savennieres that has much potential for aging. Château Soucherie has a few nice guestrooms. Wine is made under supervision of Thibaud Boudignon.

Botrytis and oxidative notes but still dry. Old barrel. Elevated acidity. Textbook classic Savennières.

Wonderful walnut skin and bitter orange marmalade. Finishes with a blast of wet stone.

Good acid and structure but the true profile was starting to show by the last sip, even at 11yo this takes a long, long long time to open up. I kept half a bottle for one day under vacuum cap, and I should’ve just stored it with the cork

Young Savennières that is very open and forward. No lack of Chenin funkiness or the schistose feel of this appellation, just unexpectedly approachable. In a good way. #cheninagins
