Extremely youthful, would not seem to have budged a bit. Pretty scorching acidity, but still plenty of life. Rather impressive, although I think more recent vintages have a more full fruit profile.

Really lovely Savennieres. Aromatic nose, very concentrated taste, long finish. Citrus, apples, amazing minerality, florality, white flowers. Depth and balance. Combination with white asparagus and tarragon hollandaise sauce was breathtaking, many Chardonnays would have struggled.

French wines and French food (Bar Marta): Nose: The nose is open and aromatic with meyer lemons, lanolin, pears, some matchstick notes, minerals, apples, yellow fruits, and white florals. There is excellent depth with a higher-toned quality to it all.
Taste: Full bodied with high acidity. The acidity is extremely youthful, but it also provides an excellent spine. There is a lot of depth and balance to the feel with meyer lemons, lanolin, pears, apples, white florals, and yellow fruits.
Overall: This is a fantastic, young Savennieres. It shows a great deal of poise and balance already, but it has a ton to offer in another 3-5+ years.

Nez très discret voir fermé (idem après 24h).
La bouche sur des fines saveurs d'acacia, silex, citron.
