Great vitality. The wine transfers in the glass in time. Great price-value ratio. (258 views) | | | Tasted by Andre-Raafs on 12/27/2015 & rated 92 points: Super wijn, volle gulle wijn, citrus tonen, honing, anijs en veel miniraliteit, loep zuiver lange afdronk (2326 views) | | | Tasted by kpeder on 6/6/2015 & rated 90 points: Strågul farge. Sitrus, litchi, roser, noe grapefrukt, aprikos, gule plommer, søtlige og mer modne frukter kommer etter litt tid i glasset. Honning og smørmalt. Mineralsk og fyldig vin med god dybde. Litt kremaktig anslag med deilig midtparti som varer lenge. Fin, lett sursøt syre. Bittersøt frukt som sitter godt. Kompleks og deilig vin. (2592 views) | | | Tasted by CAQC on 9/1/2014 & rated 91 points: Chenin Blanc is an underrated grape. Very dry, wet limestone, assertive and lingering on the palate. No oak. Some ageability. Paired well with pacific wild salmon. 90 (612 views) | | | Tasted by Marc on 5/16/2014 & rated 90 points: (out of 375ml) Ripe red capsicum, greengage plum, tobacco smoke, earth, old oak and a touch of sulfur. On the palate, rich and layered mouthfeel, tobacco smoke echos - great satin texture - very ripe but has plenty of definition. Excellent wine. (2922 views) | | | Tasted by Bearbus on 1/7/2014: Poached apple/pear, a touch of an almost cheese edge, a hint of the wet wool character, pulverised rock, not oxidative; some r.s. and good acidity, roundness that's kept in check, just great balance, good length. (1096 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 1/6/2014 & rated 90 points: LCBO tasting bar sample. Lush nose centered on honey, wet wool, and mixed florals. Fairly fresh given the oxidative reputation of this region. Palate feels relatively dry with a fair bit of bitterness and sour acids. Just slightly off dry. (3068 views) | | | Tasted by vespasian on 9/18/2012 & rated 91 points: Mid Lemon gold; Delicate mineral notes alongside honeycomb and white flowers, lovely freshness and purity; full and concentrated flavour, lovely density but retains good mineral cut, freshness and acidity. A lovely Savennieres, young right now but with potential to age in the medium term. Honeyed finish. (2948 views) |

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson

Vineyards on weinagen-infoAnjou-SaumurSee an excellent article on Vinography.SavennièresSavennières is a small, relatively well-known Loire Valley region producing wines made from the chenin blanc grape.
They are not conventionally fruity, and benefit from extensive aging.
Savennieres often have smells like white truffles and animal notes, even when young. They can last for a tremendous amount of time, and some people mistake the evolved aromas after 10-20 years with oxidization, but I have yet to taste an oxidised chenin blanc, since the amount and type of acidity (many g/l and tartaric) preserve the fruit in a much more effective way than e.g. chardonnay.
