2008 was a unique vintage. About 40% less yield due to frost, so much more concentrated on nose and palate. Lychee poached in pear syrup comes to mind. Underneath is the wet wool and schist that I always get from Savennières. Now I want Blanquette de veau!

Past golden, opened very quiet and 15 minutes later it was singing, Bruised apple, pear, and plush texture. Low acid but not fat. Expected the alcohol to be low, after a half glass I had to check the bottle. 14.5...
