(2014 Vintage Notes)

With its beautiful, luminous yellow-gold color, this Savennières is crystal-clear and refined on the nose, with subtle hints of light oak from its aging. The palate is full-bodied and elegant, thanks in part to lovely mineral notes. The finish is long and crisp, with citrus notes and a salty aftertaste. A great white wine from the Loire Valley, perfect for fine dining!

Review by Mr. JEAN-CLAUDE G. Published on October 16, 2018

Very disappointing; it doesn't match the advertised and described wine at all. This has put me off buying Savennières again.
