WineSaint

Bone-dry and tightly wound with serious grip from thirty-five-year-old schist vineyards. Stone fruit and roasted almonds emerge, but the wine's power lies in its almost austere structure. Firm tannins and piercing minerality give this real authority on the palate.

Closel

Domaine du Closel is one of Savennières' most established estates, producing single-vineyard Chenin Blancs from schist and volcanic soils that reward patience and reward those who seek age-worthy dry whites from the Loire.
