Savennieres makes dry Chenin Blanc of remarkable intensity on steep schist slopes above the Loire. These are wines of minerality and grip, often needing years in the cellar before they fully open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Savennieres so distinctive?
Low yields, poor volcanic soils and a warm mesoclimate concentrate the fruit. The result is a white with the structure of a fine red.
Should I decant Savennieres?
Younger examples benefit from air. Mature bottles can rival the sweeter styles of Vouvray for complexity.
