Domaine FL - Savennières Roche aux Moines 2018

“A very intense nose of sliced pear that takes a little time to reveal notes of lemon zest and flowers. This is a powerful dry Chenin Blanc that leans toward opulence, but whose almost sharp acidity keeps it firmly in check. This is followed by complex spice and minerality in a bold and very clean finish.” (James Suckling 2021)

About the wine:
Elegantly understated on the nose with a striking minerality. The intensity is well-defined on the palate, with notes of stone fruit. The finish is long, fresh, and complex.

About the wine:
A very intense nose of sliced pear that takes a moment to reveal notes of lemon zest and flowers. This is a powerful dry Chenin Blanc that leans toward opulence, but whose almost sharp acidity keeps it firmly in check. This is followed by complex spice and minerality in a bold yet crisp finish.
