Savennieres - Clos de la Bergerie(White) 2023

Complex and well balanced, vibrant acidity supports the explosive exotic fruit notes, complimented by a long mineral finish. A wine that can be enjoyed now but will also improve for years to come!

Despite the vast size of the Loire Valley wine region, few of its winemakers have acquired folklore status. But mention the name Nicolas Joly, and nearly anyone who has even a passing interest in organic wine can recount his tale. For nearly 50 years, Joly has practiced what some might call extreme biodynamics on 12th century Chenin Blanc vineyards near Savennières. His three cuvées have become almost as mythical as the man, with each release being carefully allocated, whilst spurring much debate about typicity, consistency and to what degree oxidative notes are friend or foe.

Vinification: Hand-harvested when the grapes had maximum maturity. Aged in 500L old barrels for up to 6 months, lightly-filtered and bottled.

Match it with: Scallops, goats cheese
