WineSaint
Grilled stone fruit and toasted spice dominate this powerful expression from purple schist soils. The oak feels heavy-handed now, masking the mineral core that defines great Savennières. Firm, almost chewy texture suggests serious concentration beneath the barrel treatment. Should find balance with time. Drink 2026-2035.
