One of the best plot in the all Savennieres appellation, organic farming - the wine is uniquely of a nice golden color combining elegant and persistent, light sweet, rich and multi layered, with notes of almonds, spices, light floral tone, and the freshness of stonefruits - small yield, vines are over 50 years old 😋

Surprisingly rich mouthfeel, with lots of honey, some lanolin, a little dust, and decent acidity. Not overly complex, but a good Savennieres from a challenging year.

Much more medicinal than previous bottles. Weighty, almost oily. Pronounced iodine.
