Score 92/100 · Decanter

Citric notes with a touch of honey. Lean, mineral and precise, reflecting this cooler vintage, with a long, vibrant and quite austere finish, but clear potential to age. Comes from four small, closely grouped parcels totaling 1.85ha that are just to the northwest of the village of Savennières on the plateau. Planted in 1988, the vines are on sandy loam soils over schist. Harvest was on 30 September with a yield of just 7hl/ha due to frost damage. Vinified and aged for 14 months in barriques (228 liters) with complete malolactic fermentation and bottled in November 2022.
