Domaine aux Moines Savennieres-Roche Aux Moines 2020

This bone-dry Chenin Blanc shines a brilliant yellow-gold and releases aromatics that could only come from the schist and volcanic soils of Savennières. It epitomizes “site-specificity” and ageability—something all white wine lovers should experience.

The nose floods the senses with laser-sharp aromas of Bosc pear, green apple, pineapple core, lime blossoms, candied lemon peel, struck flint, crushed wet rock, bruised yellow peach, tangerine peel, honeysuckle, and lees. The palate is deeply textured and bristling with high acid, tense energy, and a mineral tang.
