2024 Chateau d'Epire Savennieres Fortified This wine is utterly deliciousImporter Notes (Kermit Lynch): Chenin Blanc from Savennires is such a different beast from Vouvray. Here, at the western end of the Loire Valley, limestone gives way to more schist, resulting in a cooler, more restrained vibe, with less stone fruit and more crisp pear. The finish is nutty, dry, and a bit craggy, much like the rock strewn vineyards overlooking the Loire that are its source.
