RVF Award: A Great Success (2010 Vintage Special)
This pretty Savennières It opens with floral notes: acacia and honeysuckle, followed by mineral notes and a subtle woodiness that add nuance to the bouquet. On the palate, it is immensely rich and exceptionally refined, with mineral bitterness lending depth and length. Hints of linden and licorice on the finish—delicious!
