WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine de la Bergerie's Savennières 'Clos le Grand Beaupréau' is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the producer's expertise in winemaking. The wine comes from the Savennières appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest white wines in the Loire Valley. The vineyard features steep slopes with schist and sandstone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and fermentation in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is dry, full-bodied, and rich in flavors of citrus, honey, and stone fruits, with a long and elegant finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine de la Bergerie's Savennières 'Clos le Grand Beaupréau' is a stunning example of the region's Chenin Blanc.The nose is intense, with aromas of ripe pear, honeycomb, almond, and lemon. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a beautiful balance of acidity and concentration. Flavors of stone fruit, lemon curd, and a hint of smoky mineral complexity linger on the long and lingering finish. This is a wonderfully expressive, age-worthy white that will be best enjoyed over the next decade.
