Nicolas Joly Clos de la Bergerie Savannieres 2023 0,75l

This Chenin Blanc comes from Clos de la Bergerie in Savennières-Roche-aux-Moines. Its east-facing vines grow on schist and quartz beneath comparatively deep topsoil. Ripe orchard fruit, floral detail and firm mineral tension define the aromatic profile. The palate has depth and substance, yet freshness and a saline line keep it precise. Vinification in wood with very little new oak allows the character of the site to lead. A little air and a cool rather than cold serving temperature reveal its complexity. It is superb with fish in butter sauce, white meat, goat cheese or Cantal. Find this individual Loire white for special tables at Vinofant.
