Domaine Sauveroy Clos Des Sables Anjou Chenin Blanc 2021
$65.00
Description
Beautiful golden colour with golden hues. On the nose, the wine expresses a floral and fruity structure with notes of linden, acacia flowers, white peach, apricot, pineapple and mango. The palate is generous and complex from the beginning, then the wine matures to finish with flavours of white fruits and candied citrus fruits. The finish is long and persistent, with a great dry white signature.
ABOUT THE DOMAINE
This charming 28-hectare family domaine sits atop a sandy, stony hill overlooking the Layon River, just 10km south of the Loire and the renowned Savennières appellation. Now certified organic, the estate is in the hands of Quentin Cailleau, the third generation of the Cailleau family. This is prime Chenin Blanc country, and their Clos des Sables vineyard produces one of the domaine’s most emblematic expressions of the variety.
Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo natural fermentation in a mix of casks and barrels, then rest on lees for 14 months, enhancing richness and complexity.
