"On the edge of the Coulée de Serrant, discover this superb white wine with exceptional charm."
"This 2022 already has a compelling aromatic profile, full of vegetal sap and orchard fruit aromas. On the palate, it is structured, intense, firm, and deeply aromatic, with flavors that seem to come from stone and rock as much as fruit, and with that sensation of vegetal sap and leaf infusing the wine. It is a beautifully articulated wine with a unique character, from a very fine, very dry vintage in the Loire, and one that will certainly age well." (Decanter 2024). Wine delivered without capsule.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces all styles of white wine. René makes the wine, while his older brother Christophe works in the vineyards. They don't use organic methods, but the soil is worked "their way." The same care prevails in the cellar, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30 hl wooden vats by Stockinger, etc.), suitable for crafting nuanced and complex wines. Sweet wines are the estate's great strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), which is impeccably balanced. The small rosé and red cuvées are a notch below, and the whites tasted this year are too inconsistent to retain the third BD rating.

About wine:
This young 2022 still has a long life ahead of it, but it already has a compelling aromatic profile, full of flavors of plant sap and orchard fruits. On the palate, it is structured, intense, firm, and deeply aromatic, with flavors that seem to come from stone and rock as much as fruit, and with that sensation of plant sap and leaf infusing the wine. It is a beautifully articulated wine with a unique character, from a very fine, very dry vintage in the Loire, and one that will certainly age well.

About wine:
The 2022 Savennières Roche aux Moines is remarkably dense, with a full body, lovely apple nuances, and floral notes. It is a ripe wine, but not overly so, nicely structured, with ripe phenolic notes that give it real bite and a good reason to make your mouth water.
