Forges Savennieres Moulin du Gue, 2021

France, (Savennières AOC)

100% Chenin Blanc

13.5%

 

This 1.5 ha parcel is located on the plateau of the village of Savennières, opposite the “Moulin du Gué.” Shallow soil of schist and sand. The grapes are manually harvested by successive passes through the vineyard. Some of them have a little botrytis, which brings complexity and richness to the wine. During the fermentation, the temperature is closely monitored to highlight Chenin's natural aromas.

 

TASTING NOTES:  Rich flavors of ripe pear and honey, balanced by minerality and crisp acidity, offering a long, elegant finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Fish and seafood, white meats, and vegetables. Also great with soft-ripened cheeses like camembert and brie. Grilled vegetables, such as asparagus, zucchini and peppers.
