Notes: Guide Hachette (2007) 2** Stars (remarkable wine), Gilbert & Gaillard 92/100
Château de Varennes cultivates its 7 hectares of Chenin Blanc exclusively within the Savennières appellation, on the northern bank of the Loire. This 2004 Savennières is typical of its terroir, displaying lovely aromatic finesse and a beautiful minerality. A lovely bottle to enjoy right away with river fish topped with a beurre blanc sauce...
