Spot on in the blind. Well nearly. Was pretty adamant that it was a Vouvray. Just felt too fresh, crisp, and floral for a Savennières. Also lacking the typical Savennières hay-like character. Makes more sense once you find out that this wine comes from the highest point in the appellation. Wine-wise, it felt pretty quiet compared to the others on the table but I loved the energy. Taut, with a very distintive Chenin-acidity. Notes of lemon rind, pear, white flowers, and hints of lanolin. Quite an airy wine. One to revisit too.
