Gault & Millau

"Aromatic and mineral nose, with notes of chalk, lemon, and a hint of honey. On the palate, the wine is lively and punchy. The minerality is very present and lends a certain severity. Fans of dry Chenin will appreciate it... Others will need to be patient." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - Gault Millau)

Review and opinion by Mr. ALAIN L. Published on 12/09/2015

It is floral and harmonious with a slight smoky taste on the finish. However, I was a little disappointed by this Savennières, in which I did not find the integrity of the Chenin. I am also probably influenced by my familiarity with Montlouis wines.
