Like revenge, this is best serve chilled (even though it is a red). A fascinating combination of CF, Grolleau Noir, CS, Pinot d’Aunis and Gamay. Hand-harvested 75% from the estate, rest from neighbors. This wine has great texture and structure. 12% abv. From the family Ogreau, who apparently, are also musicians. $27 — 3 months ago

16.5+/20 (90+/100) Молодой аромат с нотами лимонного мармелада, липового цвета, намёк на мёд. Сладкое с довольно высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе: яблочное варенье, лимон. Очень хорошо, молодо. — 5 years ago

Nutty, long, viscous, oily beast of a wine. Needs air to fully open up and once it gets going...it blows you away. A point right now. We served it next to coquilles with couscous and hazelnut. Outstanding combination. — 7 years ago

What a great find, plenty of character, weight and acidity to work all the way thru our meal. Will seek this one out again. — 9 months ago

Nose is bright cherry, lavender, strawberry, raspberry, and rose. Smooth cherry and ripe strawberry predominate the palate along with cinnamon, tart peach, and ripe apricot. Light tannin, medium alcohol, and high acid that lingers long into the finish. — 3 years ago

I seem to love all Savenierres, a fine example. — 8 months ago

Spot on in the blind. Well nearly. Was pretty adamant that it was a Vouvray. Just felt too fresh, crisp, and floral for a Savennières. Also lacking the typical Savennières hay-like character. Makes more sense once you find out that this wine comes from the highest point in the appellation. Wine-wise, it felt pretty quiet compared to the others on the table but I loved the energy. Taut, with a very distintive Chenin-acidity. Notes of lemon rind, pear, white flowers, and hints of lanolin. Quite an airy wine. One to revisit too. — 9 months ago

Interesting cross-section...partial malo, quite dry, layered aging and relatively boozy. To put in context - this feels a world away from Vouvray. — 6 years ago
