Orchard fruit and brioche aromatics show appealing richness, but the wine's firm, almost tannic structure on the finish sets it apart. Mineral-driven acidity cuts through with precision, creating that signature Savennières tension between richness and austerity. The 14.2% alcohol adds just enough weight to balance the wine's inherent grip.
